Alfredo Jaar
Prix Pictet
Chilean artist Alfredo Jaar is the winner of Prix Pictet Storm, the 11thcycle of Prix Pictet. Jaar was recognised for his 2025 series The End, which focuses on the Great Salt Lake in Utah, described by scientists as an ‘environmental nuclear bomb’. The lake is a keystone ecosystem in the western hemisphere but is being destroyed by excessive water extraction. About his series, Jaar said: "My objective is to show the tragic fate of the lake and simultaneously reveal its extraordinary beauty and potential. In spite of the dire situation we are in, I wanted to create images of great beauty and sadness. In the face of the magnitude of this tragedy, I decided to print these images in a small, unspectacular format, as a kind of visual whisper, a lament for our dying planet."

Rene Matić captures fleeting moments of joy in daily life and expressions of tenderness within a wider political context. Mohammed Sami is known for his large-scale paintings which explore memory and conflict. Interweaving painting, mural, textile and sound, Zadie Xa’s work explores traditions and folklore, speaking to a multitude of cultures.

Pierre Faure
Bourse pour la photographie sociale
The Fonds de dotation Neuf Cinq – Robert Delpire & Sarah Moon has awarded the first edition of its grant for social photography to photographer Pierre Faure, for his long-term work on poverty, La France périphérique. The work, which he began more than ten years ago, documents the most disadvantaged fringes of society. Pierre Faure's ambition is to make the living conditions of a section of the population across all the regions of France visible and tangible, focusing on one per year, so that faces can replace statistics in raising public awareness and understanding.

Gold Art Prize
The Gold Art Prize, a series of five awards given biennially to AAPI and Asian diaspora artists, has named this year’s winners. They are Morehshin Allahyari, Jacqueline Kiyomi Gork, Dan Lie, Kenneth Tam and Stella Zhong. Lie is known for vast installations that function as active ecosystems, with soil, flowers, and more that continue to change form during the exhibition. Zhong creates spare paintings and sculptures whose minimal forms allude to her own feelings of alienation. Allahyari makes digital artworks that contend with colonialism and racism. Gork produces sculptures about how we experience sound. Tam crafts videos and installations that derive from his research into masculinity, often as it intersects with the Asian diasporic experience.

Félix Côte
Révélation Art numérique – Art vidéo
Awarded in partnership with Le Fresnoy - Studio national des arts contemporains, the ADAGP Révélation Art numérique – Art vidéo prize has been awarded to Félix Côte, a student in the Promotion Vera Molnár. The 32-year-old French artist was recognised for his work Le Roi se meurt, which uses sound to question the memory of a place. If you had to remember just one sound from your childhood home, what would it be? The sound of a creaking wooden floor, the tinkling sound of a wind chime, a door handle turning? For multimedia artist Félix Côte, it would be the creak of a wooden chair in the living room.

Hazelmead
Overall Winner
Barefoot Architects’ community housing project Hazelmead has won the overall winner prize at the Housing Design Awards 2025. Hazelmead, located on the outskirts of Bridport in Dorset, is the largest completed cohousing development in the UK. The community-led project by Bridport Cohousing CLT, comprises 53 climate-resilient homes, a common house and shared green spaces. The project reflects a commitment to affordable, sustainable and community-focused living for a mixed-tenure, multi-generational neighbourhood. Hazelmead was developed to address the critical shortage of affordable, sustainable and community-oriented housing in Bridport, Dorset - a region where average house prices exceed 11 times the average local income.
