"Untitled" (Golden)
1995, strands of beads and hanging device
A shimmering curtain of gilded beads invites the viewer's both visual and tactile engagement. González-Torres, who was also well known for his political activism before his early death from AIDS at age 38, transformed art making and experience into an intimate collaboration of artist and viewer. Félix González-Torres represented America posthumously at the Venice Biennale in 2007.
Felix challenges us to participate in art… there are no bystanders. There is no reward without sacrifice. I still carry with me a piece of candy from one of his installations. It glitters, and it would be sweet if I tasted it… but I fear it and it makes me cry. His art makes me care.
fantastic and beautiful wall
like gold falling water….or raining
So beautiful interior design
I’ve experienced this piece and it’s moving. Plus what a simple gesture and economy of means. Very modern and great. R.I.P. Felix.
