# Hans-Peter Feldmann’s 100K Installation at the Guggenheim
Wanna see what 100,000 dollar bills looks like? Last year **Hans-Peter
Feldmann** was awarded the $100,000 Biennal Hugo Boss prize for his
contributions to the contemporary art world. The 70-year-old german
conceptualist who's portfolio dates 60 years found it appropriate to
create a $100,000 installation utilizing all of his prize money at the
Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York. The bills took approximately 13
days to pin to the wall and were taken from out-of-circulation currency.
The Guggenheim says Feldmann is portraying currency as mass-produced
material used every day, rather than a symbol of capitalism. This well
guarded exhibit is bound to become a topic of discussion amongst the art
lovers visiting the exhibition, open until November 2nd, 2011.
