The Guadeloupean artist Kelly Sinnapah Mary is the latest winner of the CPGA-Villa Albertine Étant donnés Prize, awarded annually to a French artist exhibiting at Art Basel Miami Beach. Sinnapah Mary’s The Book of Violette: Marie-Anne (2025) is on display at James Cohan’s stand and sold for $80,000 to a US-based foundation.
“It’s particularly meaningful, because she is from Guadeloupe, which is an overseas territory of France,” says Paula Naughton, a senior director at the gallery. The award is given annually by France’s gallery association to an artist either from or working in the country.
