Max Mara, Collezione Maramotti and Museum MACAN announced that Indonesian artist Dian Suci has been named the winner of the 10th edition of the Max Mara Art Prize for Women, the international award dedicated to supporting and promoting emerging and mid-career women artists at a crucial stage in their professional career.
The winner was unveiled during a cocktail reception, in conjunction with the opening of the 61st International Art Exhibition La Biennale di Venezia, by Cecilia Alemani, curator of the Max Mara Art Prize for Women and chair of the jury, together with Sara Piccinini, Director of Collezione Maramotti, Venus Lau, Director of Museum MACAN, and Elia Maramotti on behalf of Max Mara and Collezione Maramotti.
As part of the award, Dian Suci will undertake a six-month travelling residency across Italy, organized by Collezione Maramotti and specifically tailored to the development of the project she proposed to the jury.
Dian Suci was selected as the winner from the five finalists, which also included Betty Adii, Dzikra Afifah, Ipeh Nur, and Mira Rizki.
The Max Mara Art Prize for Women is an award established in 2005 by Max Mara to support emerging and mid-career female-identifying artists, offering them time, resources, and a residency in Italy to develop new artistic projects. Initially created in collaboration with the Whitechapel Gallery in London, the prize will become itinerant starting from its 10th edition (2025–2027), moving across different countries under the curatorial direction of Cecilia Alemani. Winners are selected by a jury and receive a six-month residency organized by Collezione Maramotti, followed by two solo exhibitions: one at the partner institution and one at Collezione Maramotti, which acquires the artworks.
