MONACO — On June 19, 2025, Monaco will host the 2025 Contemporary Art Awards, a prestigious event celebrating innovation and creativity in the global art scene, organized by Elie Art. The evening, unfolding at the Hôtel Miramar’s L’Équivoque terrace, will bring together artists, collectors, and cultural luminaries for a night of elegance and inspiration.
The event will feature a refined reception with champagne from an open bar, caviar from Or Noir, petits fours by Les Épicuriens, and a menu by an Italian caterer. Honored artists include Marcos Marin, recognized for his “SAB Chaise Bleue,” alongside Laurence Jenkell, Romain Tiercin, Marie De Decker, and Pariravan, each celebrated for their bold contributions to contemporary art.
On the Hôtel Miramar’s panoramic terrace, a jury featuring Comtesse Helen Modini Selikowitz, a photographer who documented Pablo Picasso and knew Marc Chagall, César, and Arman, and Sandra de la JLC Family, an auctioneer, will present the “ÉLITE” trophies. The awards aim to spotlight leading contemporary artists while fostering connections among art, luxury, and cultural innovation.
The evening will conclude with the White Art Party, an immersive experience led by Elie Art, marking the launch of this awards initiative in major global cities. Guests will enjoy live performances by a saxophonist, singer Jeffrey, and a DJ, alongside visual installations and a monochromatic setting. Attendees can also explore jewelry by Elke Berr Joaillerie. The dress code—white with a touch of gold—complements the event’s refined aesthetic, set against the backdrop of Monaco’s port.
The 2025 Contemporary Art Awards, held on June 19 at the Hôtel Miramar, underscore Monaco’s role as a hub for artistic excellence and cultural dialogue, with Elie Art driving this ambitious celebration of contemporary talent.
