Cassidy Toner wins the Manor Art Prize 2025 for the cantons of Basel-Stadt and Basel-Landschaft, Noemi Pfister for Graubünden, Sarah Benslimane for the canton of Geneva, Andrin Winteler for Schaffhausen and Lorenza Longhi for Zurich, as Manor announced on Monday.
Each of the award-winning artists will exhibit in an important museum for the respective canton in the coming year. In addition, a monographic publication and a prize are associated with the sponsorship award. The museum in question also purchases a work of art.
Cassidy Toner will be exhibiting at the Kunstmuseum Basel. Her work consists of sculptures, ceramics, paintings, photography and installations. The US-born artist deals with themes such as desire, existence, prejudice and destructive patterns of behavior.
Noemi Pfister's paintings will be on display at the Bündner Kunstmuseum. The Grisons artist combines motifs from art history with popular culture. Her pictorial worlds resemble dreamlike landscapes with enigmatic figures.
In her work, French-born Sarah Benslimane proves herself to be a human being in the sign of the internet. Her sculptural paintings reflect the abundance of information, history, images and styles that are instantly available. Benslimane will be exhibiting at the Musée d'Art Moderne & Contemporain in Geneva.
Andrin Winteler is a photographer and artist from Schaffhausen. The Museum zu Allerheiligen will be presenting his work. Winteler explores the question of the concept of truth in the face of artificial intelligence and the flood of images in social networks.
The Kunstmuseum Winterthur will be exhibiting works by Lorenza Longhi. Born in Italy, her paintings and installations reflect on the viewer's relationship to consumer culture. She contrasts industrially manufactured mass-produced goods with the aesthetics of handcraftsmanship.
The Manor Art Prize is one of the most important awards for contemporary art in Switzerland. It is awarded in twelve cantons, alternating between six cantons in one year and six other cantons in the following year. The winner for the Canton of St. Gallen in 2025 will be announced at a later date.
