As the winner of the 2010 HUGO BOSS PRIZE, a biennial award recognizing significant achievement in contemporary art, Feldmann received an honorarium of $100,000. For his solo exhibition at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, he has chosen to pin this exact amount to the gallery walls in a grid of overlapping one-dollar bills. The installation, which uses money that has previously been in circulation, extends the artists lifelong obsession with collecting familiar material into simple groupings that reveal a nuanced play of similarity and difference.
