FREE ENTRY / KPM Karl Peter Muller Prize - Art Prize 2026

Artists' legacies develop over many years – in studios, in archives, in conversations. People who accompany this process are always involved: the artists themselves and those who organize, document, mediate, or make works accessible with new ideas.

Whether during one's lifetime or after an inheritance: the responsibility for a life's work raises many questions. How does one structure an estate?

What is relevant? How does a work remain vibrant for the future?

And what creative solutions can serve as models for others?

It is precisely here that impressive projects and initiatives are emerging today that not only preserve but also rethink legacy work – professionally, artistically, experimentally.
