Lucia Tallová has been selected as Deutsche Bank's Artist of the Year 2026
Lucia Tallová was nominated by Sam Bardaouil and Till Fellrath, directors of the Hamburger Bahnhof—Nationalgalerie für Gegenwart—Berlin and founders of the curatorial platform Art Reoriented. They succeed Stephanie Rosenthal, director of the Guggenheim Abu Dhabi project.
Born in Bratislava, Slovakia, Tallová graduated from the local Academy of Fine Arts and gained international recognition in 2022 through her participation in the 16th Lyon Biennale. Her often room-filling installations resemble surreal tableaux that explore memory, human and geological history, and develop new forms of storytelling and archiving.
Since 2010, Deutsche Bank's "Artist of the Year" award has honored promising artists working with paper and photography. The current nominee, Lucia Tallová, was selected by Sam Bardaouil and Till Fellrath of the curatorial platform ArtReoriented. Tallová’s first institutional solo exhibition in Western Europe will open at the PalaisPopulaire in Berlin in September 2026.
