Preise und Stipendien

The Yves Klein Foundation is pleased to announce the launch of a new research grant program. Its purpose is to support the renewal of scholarship dedicated to the artist and to encourage deeper exploration of his work, ideas and enduring creative legacy.

The first research grant will be launched in spring 2026 and from 2027 onward, the Foundation will award two grants per year. The program includes a residency and a stipend of CHF 6,000. It is intended for emerging researchers of any nationality and aims to foster new narratives, situate the artist’s work within a broader cultural context, shed light on its resonance with contemporary societal and ecological challenges and consider its reception across diverse geographies.

WHO CAN APPLY? Researchers under 35 years of age, holding a PhD or postdoctoral degree
RESIDENCY DATES: Autumn 2026 — no later than the first half of December 2026
