Hugo Boss Prize

I never heard of this prize for art but the finalists for the Hugo Boss Prize were announced last week. The award, given every two years to an artist who the jury decides has made an important contribution to contemporary art, is worth $100,000. There are no age or nationality restrictions. The finalists are Christoph Buchel, Patty Chang, Sam Durant, Emily Jacir, Joachim Koester, Roman Signer. Google the names if you want to see their stuff.
