Toby Ziegler Awarded 2025 Jean-François Prat Prize, Completes Mural at Goodmayes Hospital
On July 7, 2025, Galerie Max Hetzler announced that British artist Toby Ziegler has been awarded the 2025 Jean-François Prat Prize in Paris. The prize recognizes contemporary artists for their contributions. Ziegler also completed a large-scale, site-specific mural at Goodmayes Hospital in Ilford, commissioned as part of Hospital Rooms, an initiative that uses art to transform clinical environments. The mural draws on themes of home, identity, and collective joy.
The Signal
The Jean-François Prat Prize adds to Ziegler's growing institutional recognition, following his inclusion in major collections and public commissions. The Hospital Rooms project reflects a wider trend of integrating contemporary art into healthcare settings to improve patient and staff well-being. For collectors, this dual acknowledgment—a prestigious prize and a high-profile public commission—may signal Ziegler's rising market standing and potential for further institutional uptake.
