Felix Gonzalez-Torres - Roni Horn

Bag om Felix Gonzalez-Torres - Roni Horn

A dialogue between two virtuosos of formal simplicityIn 1990, Felix Gonzalez-Torres (1957-96) visited Roni Horn's (born 1955) solo show at MOCA Los Angeles and saw for the first time her iconic 1982 work Gold Field--a thin piece of gold foil placed on the ground, without any cordon or protection. Deeply affected by the simplicity, strength and beauty of the work, Gonzalez-Torres met Horn in 1991 and told her of the impact the piece had on him. A few days later, Roni Horn sent him a square of gold foil as a mark of their burgeoning friendship. Later, in response, he created "Untitled" (Placebo - Landscape - for Roni), a carpet of candies wrapped in gold cellophane, available for visitors to take. In turn, Horn replied with Gold Mats, Paired - for Ross and Felix (1994-95), this time with two pieces of gold foil placed atop each other. This volume celebrates their friendship, reproducing installations, photographs and sculptures.
