The winner of The Richard Mille Art Prize will be selected during a ceremony in January 2022, with the winner will be awarded $50,000.
Peter Harrison, CEO, Richard Mille Middle East said, "Richard Mille’s timepieces have always sat at the intersection of watchmaking tradition, art, design and architecture. The Richard Mille Art Prize celebrates the thriving art culture here in the UAE, and in the region as a whole; establishing a platform dedicated to creativity, dialogue and diversity. The Prize will lay down the foundations for what is certain to be a very exciting chapter in the development of the region’s rich and nuanced art scene."
