The Cuban/American artist Felix Gonzalez-Torres is now regarded as one of the most important artists of the late twentieth-century. In 1995 his work was the subject of a major survey exhibition at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York. Felix Gonzalez-Torres died of AIDS related illness in January 1996.
Gonzalez-Tores' work encompasses polotics, human rights, socail and private space, and his love and desire. While his work is anchored to individual experiences of life, it is able to communicate the broadest philosphical and political dilemmas. His work is generous, beautiful and intelligent.
Disarmingly simple, the evocative nature of Gonzalez Torres' work can be surpisingly moving. Many of the Artists installation peices can be re-presented to the space in which they are shown. The works exist only for the period of their echibition only. For this exhibition an important installation peice has been re-fabricated especially for the gallery space at Yuill-Crowley Gallery.
The project has been organized with the kind of cooperation of Andrea Rosen Gallery, New York.
