INFORMATION

The European Gallery Award was created by the Federation of European Art Galeries Associations (FEAGA) to highlight the importance of galleries and to honor galleries that are an example in their efforts to support artists and make their work visible.

Sofie Van de Velde, President of the Award Committee, will present the FEAGA Awards this year to Chantal Crousel (Paris) and SUPRAINFINIT Gallery (Bucharest).

To honour the legacy of FEAGA’s long-standing chairman, esteemed college and dear friend Ernst Hilger, he will be posthumously awarded FEAGA Lifetime Achievement Award.

Galerie Chantal Crousel has been instrumental in introducing and championing contemporary artists from diverse backgrounds, establishing itself as a pivotal institution in the global art scene since 1980. The gallery has hosted seminal solo exhibitions for artists such as Mona Hatoum, Gabriel Orozco, and Cindy Sherman, significantly influencing the trajectory of contemporary art. Nowadays, it continues to represent a dynamic roster of artists, participating in major international art fairs and contributing to the discourse of contemporary art.

SUPRAINFINIT Gallery in Bucharest is known for its bold, context-driven program that champions underrepresented voices and fosters long-term artistic careers from the CEE regions. The gallery has launched artists who now feature in international collections and biennials, including the Romanian Pavilion at the Venice Architecture Biennale 2025, while facilitating major institutional placements and publishing over 20 monographs. Through initiatives like co-founding Romania's first art fair and developing new art spaces in cities like Oradea, SUPRAINFINIT has significantly shaped the cultural infrastructure in Romania and the broader CEE region under the leadership of Suzana and Cristina Vasilescu.
