{"product_id":"felix-gonzalez-torres","title":"Felix Gonzalez-Torres","description":"One of the most significant artists to emerge in the late 1980s and early  1990s, Felix Gonzalez-Torres's reduced formal vocabulary, conceptual rigor,  and evocative use of everyday materials resonates with meaning that is  at once specific and mutable, rigorous and generous, poetic and political.\n\nFeaturing several key bodies of work from throughout the artist's career, this  publication showcases a series of distinct installations at David Zwirner in  New York in 2017. The interplay with the specific architecture of the gallery  and the way works are installed is highlighted throughout the catalogue,  with images that explore the poetics of how space and work influence  each other. Together, in their radical openness to interventions of site,  audience, and context, the works on view challenge perceived notions of  what constitutes an exhibition space, a public, an artwork itself. Despite  the resolute abstraction of much of his work, Gonzalez-Torres worked with  familiar materials, from his iconic candy spill works and his evocative light  string pieces, but also including mirrors, clocks, and curtains. His work  activates the architecture of the various spaces, the physicality of the viewer,  the past and present, continuously maintaining its relevance.\n\nOpening with details of the exhibition and images of visitors in the spaces,  the publication walks the reader through each piece. New texts by Gregg  Bordowitz  and  David  Breslin  explore  the  works  included  here  while   contextualizing Gonzalez-Torres's contribution to art history.","brand":"David Zwirner Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42664667840548,"sku":"9781941701768","price":76.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0725\/9734\/0196\/files\/9781941701768.jpg?v=1776899438","url":"https:\/\/thamesandhudson.com.au\/products\/felix-gonzalez-torres","provider":"Thames \u0026 Hudson Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
