$100,000 Dollor Room by Hans-Peter Feldmann

The German conceptual artist Hans-Peter Feldmann was awarded the 2010 Hugo Boss Prize, a biennial award bestowed by the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation for significant achievement in contemporary art. As the winner of this award Feldmann received an honorarium of $100,000. For his solo exhibition at the Guggenheim, Feldmann has tacked up the same amount to the walls in a large gallery room such that the entire space is now covered with a grid of overlapping one-dollar bills.
