M+ Names Heidi Lau and Wong Ping Joint Winners of the 2025 Sigg Prize
M+ has named Heidi Lau and Wong Ping as joint winners of the Sigg Prize 2025. The Sigg Prize 2025 exhibition, presenting works by the winners and four other shortlisted artists, is on view in The Studio at M+ with free entry until 4 January 2026. Each winner receives HKD 300,000 from a total cash prize of HKD 1,000,000, while every shortlisted artist is awarded HKD 100,000. Established in 2018 by M+, the prize recognizes outstanding contemporary artists from Greater China and its diasporas.
The Signal
The decision to split the award between Lau’s ceramic installations and Wong’s animated videos reflects M+’s strategy of broadening the definition of excellence in Greater China art. Collectors gain a clear signal that both mythological material practices and sharp digital satire now carry equivalent institutional weight at one of Asia’s flagship museums. The international jury’s composition further positions the prize as a gateway for regional artists seeking wider curatorial and market attention.
