Galerie Lelong & Co., New York is pleased to announce that Krzysztof Wodiczko is a recipient of a 2024 Arts and Letters Award in Architecture from the American Academy of Arts and Letters. The award will be formally presented at the Academy of Arts and Letters's annual Ceremonial on May 22, 2024.

Arts and Letters’s annual architecture awards program began in 1955 with the inauguration of the Arnold W. Brunner Memorial Prize and has since expanded to include four Arts and Letters Awards. This year’s recipients were chosen from a group of individuals and practices nominated by the members of Arts and Letters. The members of this year’s selection committee were Toshiko Mori (chair), Deborah Berke, Marlon Blackwell, Merrill Elam, Steven Holl, Michael Maltzan, Nader Tehrani, and Billie Tsien.

Krzysztof Wodiczko is an internationally renowned artist known for large-scale projections on monuments and institutional facades that explore the relationships between communities, history, and public space. The artist has dealt extensively with trauma and healing in his projections, honoring people’s stories of pain, loss, and perseverance. Over many years, the projections have evolved from still slides to live and recorded videos utilizing individual’s faces, voices, and narratives.

On public buildings and monuments in more than 40 cities worldwide, Wodiczko has executed over 90 site-specific projections. He has created projections on the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington, DC (1988/2018); Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, New York (1989); Kraków’s City Hall Tower, Poland (1996); Boston’s Bunker Hill Monument, Massachusetts (1998); Kunstmuseum Basel, Switzerland (2005); Goethe-Schiller Monument, Weimar, Germany (2016); and Admiral Farragut Monument in Madison Square Park, New York City (2020).
