The Ricard Prize was founded in 1999 and in 2006 its name changed to Prix Fondation d’Entreprise Ricard. The prize is awarded each year during the Parisian art fair FIAC by a committee of French collectors to an artist under forty featured in an annual group show curated by a different curator each year. The Prize consists of buying an artwork for 10,000 euros minimum from the prize winner, which is then donated to the Musée National d'Art Moderne to be part of their permanent collection.
