HUGO BOSS PRIZE

The 'Hugo Boss Prize' is awarded every other year to an artist (or group of artists) working in any medium, anywhere in the world. The prize is administered by the Guggenheim Museum and sponsored by the Hugo Boss clothing company. It carries with it a cash award of US$50,000 and a tetrahedral trophy. Although the prize has only been awarded since 1996, it has quickly become one of the most prestigious in the art world.
A jury of curators, critics and scholars is responsible for the selection of the artists. They nominate six or seven artists for the short list; several months later, they choose the winner of the prize. In 1996 and 1998, the nominated artists exhibited their work at the now-defunct Guggenheim Soho; since 2000, only the winning artist has shown his or her work.
