Hugo Boss Prize 2010


Golden Shoes

Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation and Hugo Boss announced the recipient of this year's honor, conceptual artist Hans-Peter Feldmann. Born in 1941, Feldmann is an exception to other younger recipients but his German nationality is a perfect fit for the brand and he has been influential to the younger generation. Feldmann explores art presentation through manipulated photos or photos in conceptual groupings. He also alters and re-presents everyday objects. More at 303 Gallery.
