The Mondrian Prize

The Mondrian Prize is the residency awarded annually by The Mondrian Initiative to an internationally recognised art professional. The winner is invited by the selection committee to undertake a research project, in collaboration with peers of their choice. The awarding of The Mondrian Prize 2023 marks the first steps in the development of a vibrant, international community around Piet Mondrian’s studio.

With its nine-month living and working period, the prize occupies a unique position within the international residency landscape, which mostly focuses on short-term working periods. The winner will have Piet Mondrian’s renovated studio and several other studios from the artist colony managed by the Dooyewaard Foundation on the border of Laren and Blaricum at their disposal.

In 2023, The Mondrian Prize was awarded to visual artist Sophia Al-Maria and in 2024 to philosopher Emanuele Coccia. Ivan Cheng is the winner of The Mondrian Prize 2025 and will stay at the artists’ colony from April to December this year.
