"...Boucheron, the renowned French high jewellery maison, continues its commitment to creativity and equality by supporting the Her Art Prize 2025, an international award that celebrates the voices of female contemporary artists and promotes gender parity in the art world. This initiative is held in collaboration with Marie Claire and the prestigious Art Paris 2025..."
Led by two visionary women, Hélène Poulit-Duquesne (CEO) and Claire Choisne (Creative Director) Boucheron continues to uphold its founding values of artistic freedom, inclusivity, and a deep connection to the arts. The Her Art Prize, awarded annually, recognises outstanding female artists exhibiting at Art Paris.
“This project touches me deeply, both as a woman leader and an art enthusiast. It represents another way for us to demonstrate our commitment to innovation and creativity while supporting the next generation of talented women. It's also about legacy: the more of us who break through barriers, the more those barriers will fade away for those who follow”.
Hélène Poulit-Duquesne, CEO of Boucheron
Zhanna Kadyrova Wins Her Art Prize 2025
Ukrainian artist Zhanna Kadyrova has been named the first recipient of the Her Art Prize 2025, receiving a €30,000 grant from Boucheron. Her thought-provoking work, "Refugees" (2023) presented by Galleria Continua at Art Paris, explores themes of resilience and civil resistance amid political conflict in Ukraine.
Creativity Is the DNA of Boucheron
Bold artistic vision is embedded in Boucheron's identity. Through its iconic Carte Blanche collections, launched every July, Creative Director Claire Choisne continues to challenge conventions and reimagine the notion of value in high jewellery design. Beyond jewellery, Boucheron supports three female artists annually through artistic residencies at the Maison des Arts in Beijing. Located opposite the Forbidden City, this space serves as a platform for cultural exchange and contemporary innovation.
Art is at the heart of the Boucheron experience. From its Parisian flagship at 26 Place Vendôme to boutiques around the world, the maison integrates local contemporary artworks into its interior design. The 26V Apartment, a private space for VIP guests, exemplifies Boucheron’s dedication to artistic heritage and meaningful hospitality.
The Her Art Prize is more than just an award, it's a statement. It affirms Boucheron’s belief in the creative strength and cultural impact of women in art, and reflects the maison’s enduring mission to nurture bold, boundary-breaking talent on a global stage.
