Description

THE TAGLI takes its name from the iconic canvas cuts of Lucio Fontana - an artist who transcended painting to open up new space and dimension. That same spirit of cutting through convention drives our first hotel partnership for this award with Rosewood London. Both THE TAGLI and Rosewood London share a belief in championing emerging talent, operating with transparency and honesty, and treating art not as a passive backdrop but as something to be actively supported, experienced and lived with – this collaboration combines fiscal support with a meaningful public platform. 

The award recipient will be exhibited alongside a curated selection of artists, including THE TAGLI artists as well as other shortlisted nominees, within Rosewood London. This exhibition will launch in conjunction with Frieze week 2026 in London. The exhibition is part of 'The Living Gallery', Rosewood London's commitment to championing emerging artists and celebrating contemporary creativity through rotating exhibitions across the hotel's historic spaces.
