FELIX GONZALEZ-TORRES. 1994.

paul robertson — Tue, 24 Mar 2020 16:58:44 +0000

LA: MOCA, 1994 28 x 22cm, 80pp plus extended wrappers bearing a detail of Untitled (Jorge), exhibition catalogue in the form of a monograph for a travelling show about the conceptualist which toured before his death. Gonzalez-Torres work is perhaps one of the most effective and accessible of the conceptualists - Kosuth's essay contained within discusses in part the difference between the emotive work of FG-T and that, of say, Flavin despite surface similarities. Other essays by Cruz, Goldstein and Merewether amongst others. 16 reproductions including an extended work Untitled (21 days of bloodwork - steady decline) which with a single sloping-down line sums up the tragedy of AIDS and personal loss. Fine.

UNTITLED (THE SHOW IS OVER). 1993. VINTAGE RARE GIANT POSTER.

paul robertson — Tue, 04 Feb 2020 14:20:47 +0000

NYC: Dia/Printed Matter, 1993 143 x 94cm, black on white offset lithographic poster on semigloss paper issued as part of an exhibition - this is the rare collaboration between Christopher Wool & Felix Gonzalez-Torres where the posters were left in a stack ("ideally kept at 8 inches high"). The text is a nihilistic description of an audience leaving a performance but failing to find their coats and actually go home. This is one of the original vintage posters (the only other for sale online we can find is a smaller, later reprint) and while there is some creasing and surface bumps bottom left on the paper and the poster has in the past been folded centrally it is overall close to VG. Rare.
