Guggenheim Museum and Foundation, and Claus-Dietrich Lahrs, Chairman and CEO, HUGO BOSS AG, today announced the finalists for the Hugo Boss Prize 2012. The biennial award was established in 1996 to recognize significant achievement in contemporary art.

The following artists are finalists for the Hugo Boss Prize 2012: ƒ Trisha Donnelly (b. 1974, San Francisco)

ƒ Tris Vonna-Michell (b. 1982, Southend-on-Sea, United Kingdom)

“On behalf of the jury, we are delighted to announce the ninth biennial Hugo Boss Prize finalists,” said Mr. Armstrong. “Since its inception in 1996, the Hugo Boss Prize has become one of the world’s most noted juried prizes. The selection of these six exceptional artists for the 2012 short list offers insight into some of today’s most dynamic practices.”

A publication featuring the work of the six finalists with accompanying essays will be published in summer 2012. The winner will be selected and announced in fall 2012, followed by an exhibition of the artist’s work to be presented in 2013 at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York.

“Already in its sixteenth year, the Hugo Boss Prize has become a fixture in our arts sponsorship program and a key feature of our corporate culture,” said Mr. Lahrs. “We are therefore particularly delighted that it enjoys such a fine reputation on the international arts scene. We congratulate the six short-listed candidates and are already looking forward to the award ceremony in the fall of 2012.”
