Description
Book Synopsis: A photographic homage to the conceptual and formal sympathies between two artist friends
In 1990 Félix González-Torres (1957–96) encountered an artwork by Roni Horn (born 1955) called Gold Field (1980/82), a sheet of gold foil placed on the floor of the Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art. González-Torres was deeply moved and wrote to Horn, beginning an exchange that would last until González-Torres’ death.
Félix González-Torres | Roni Horn is a photographic essay sharing the experiential qualities of the artists’ work and the profound relationships underlying it. It explores four iconic works (among others)—“Untitled” (For Stockholm) (1992) and “Untitled” (Blood) (1992) by González-Torres, and Well and Truly (2009–10) and a.k.a. (2008–9) by Horn—emphasizing notions of doubling, duality, repetition, and identity. Images of these pieces, taken on the occasion of a 2022 exhibition at the Bourse de Commerce–Pinault Collection in Paris, reveal both artists’ radical visual vocabularies and their shared passion for language and poetry.
