In the current
economic climate, awards stand out like bas-relief.
We asked past Alpert recipients to tell us the nittygritty:
what did they actually
do with the prize? What
might not have gotten made? What would have been harder—
or impossible—without it?
We salute
the 2009 Alpert Award recipients, Paul
Chan, Rinde Eckert, John King, Paul Pfeiffer, and
Reggie Wilson, and wish
them an abundance of possibilities.
