Preise und Stipendien

Applications are open until September 30, 2026, for Leonard A. Lauder Publication Grants, supporting new work in the field of modern art. We use the term ‘modern art’ inclusively to refer to architecture, drawing, design (including exhibition, graphic, interior and stage design), film, painting, performance, photography, printmaking, sculpture, and textiles in the period from the last third of the nineteenth century through the 1960s, from any country, region or culture.

Recognizing the increasing costs associated with publishing, awards support illustrations and copyright, translations into English, diagrams, copy editing and indexing (if not provided by the publisher). The maximum award available is $12,000 with most grants typically in the range $4,000-7,000.

Grants are for book-length manuscripts, peer-reviewed edited volumes or, in exceptional cases, peer-reviewed journal articles. Grants are open to authors worldwide, normally for English language publications (exceptionally other languages may be supported).
