Pista 500 Prize

Created in 2023 in collaboration with Pinacoteca Agnelli, the Pista 500 Prize will grant an artist the opportunity to produce an artwork on a permanent billboard for the track on the roof of the Lingotto, in the proximity of Artissima. Pista 500 is the new project of site-specific art installations for the historic testing track of FIAT automobiles, now a spectacular panoramic promenade.

Inside the fair, an international jury will select one artist, who will have the opportunity to create a specific work for the billboard, the monumental poster that features photographs, images and other visual projects. The work will be unveiled at the time of Artissima 2026. The award reflects the new direction taken by Pinacoteca Agnelli, a dynamic centre open to multidisciplinary languages of the present in dialogue with the historic collection of the institution, with a mission of inclusion of different, multiple audiences, also thanks to the expansion of programming in the spectacular spaces of the Pista 500. The work by Paul Pfeiffer, winner of the 2024 edition, will be presented during Artissima 2025.

In 2024, the prize was awarded to Paul Pfeiffer (presented by the gallery Thomas Dane, London, Napoli).
