The Hugo Boss Prize was established in 1996 with the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum as a way to “support talented young, emerging artists as well as established individuals whose public recognition may be long overdue.” The winner — who receives $100,000 and a show at the Gugg — is chosen by an international panel of distinguished judges from the art world.
Last year Palestinian artist Emily Jacir took home the prize, and past winners include Matthew Barney, Pierre Huyghe, and Tacita Dean. After the jump peep some offerings from this year’s finalists.

As a photographer myself these are great images. but when I am not out in the wilderness shooting bear or some other wildlife and i am ready for some of my life I love the smell of hugo boss 6 however, never wear it are black bear they seem to like it also, lesson learned the hard way LOL
I for one think it is great that a company like hugo boss goes out of the way to try and support young up & comming artists, guess that may be why fragrances and perfumes like hugo boss 6 are juch great sellers. keep up the great work Hugo Boss
