The 2018 MAXXI BVLGARI Prize, the museum’s project supporting and promoting young art


The 2018 #maxxi BVLGARI #prize, the museum’s project supporting and promoting young art, is gathering pace. This year, thanks to its important partnership with Bvlgari, it has been revised and enriched as it opens to the international artistic scene. 

From 1 June to 28 October 2018, the works from this edition’s shortlisted artists - Talia Chetrit (1982), Invernomuto (Simone Bertuzzi, 1983 and Simone Trabucchi, 1982) and Diego Marcon (1985), will be shown in an exhibition at #maxxi curated by Giulia Ferracci. 

Chosen by an international jury composed of David Elliott Independent Curator, Yuko Hasegawa, Artistic Director at MOT in Tokyo, Hans Ulrich Obrist, Artistic Director at the Serpentine Galleries in London, Hou Hanru, Artistic Director at #maxxi and Bartolomeo Pietromarchi, Director of #maxxi #arte, the shortlisted artists were selected for their “awareness of the historical moment in which we are living and their capacity for expanding the confines of the artistic idiom”. Their works will now be featured in an exhibition from which the jury will choose a winner, and whose work will be acquired by the museum. 

The press will be offered a preview of the exhibition, which will be inaugurated on Wednesday, 30 May by Giovanna Melandri, President of the Fondazione #maxxi, Jean Christophe Babin, CEO of the Gruppo Bvlgari, the judges Yuko Hasegawa, Hou Hanru and Bartolomeo Pietromarchi, in the presence of the three artists. 

The exhibition will be open to the public from 1 June 2018. To help promote the #prize around the world, it will have an Honour Committee that includes Giovanna Melandri and Jean Christophe Babin, along with the Oscar winning director Giuseppe Tornatore.
