Established in 1996 as a partnership between the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation and clothing brand Hugo Boss, the Hugo Boss prize is awarded every other year to one artist for “outstanding contribution to contemporary art.” Unlike other prestigious art prizes, the Hugo Boss award is not limited to age or nationality, and recognizes the entirely of nominated artist’s oeuvres. Selected by a small jury of art critics, curators and scholars, the prize is administrated by the Guggenheim Museum, and includes a cash award of $100,000 in addition to a solo exhibition with the museum. Generally six or seven artists are nominated, with the winner announced several months later. Since its establishment through 2014, the winners of the Hugo Boss prize have been Matthew Barney, Douglas Gordon, Marjetica Potrč, Pierre Huyghe, Rirkrit Tiravanija, Tacita Dean, Emily Jacir,Hans-Peter Feldmann, Danh Vo, and Paul Chan. Notable nominees include Laurie Anderson, Stan Douglas, Lorna Simpson, William Kentridge, Rashid Johnson, and Ólafur Elíasson.
