The Biennial Hugo Boss Prize is awarded to “an artist whose work represents a significant development in contemporary art.” The Hugo Boss Prize 2002 book presents work by the six finalists: Francis Alÿs, Olafur Eliasson, Hachiya Kazuhiko, Pierre Huyghe, Koo Jeong-a, & Anri Sala. The book incorporates diverse content: artist-designed pages, essays, artist biographies, and curatorial text.

In Art at the Crossroads the dimension of art at the turn of the century is discussed in depth ans satisfactorily. "Die Lebensreform (publ. 2001)" is congrent with this volume regarding art matters, but it covers a much wider range of changes in the human mind and in human society around 1900.

I've only browsed this book rather than examining it straight through, but it starts out with an overview essay, then follows up with eye candy from the late 1800's and early 1900's. Despite the cover, the volume does not limit itself to impressionism but includes all genres of painting as well as sculpture. If you like this time period, you will enjoy thumbing through this book.
