拍品專文

"This is a work that welcomes the viewer, not as a spectator, but as a collaborator. Rather than asking that you not add anything to the work, Gonzalez-Torres--partly by leaving so much unspoken--creates a situation in which to see the work fully you must add something to it: from yourself, from your own history.

The experience of reciprocal participation is heightened by the fact that in many of the pieces, the viewer can literally take part of them away. The work is thus constantly in transition... The hard and unyielding surface of Minimalism becomes an open structure that depends upon an experience of generosity and mutual exchange." (R. Ferguson in "The Past Recaptured", in Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Los Angeles, 1994, p. 29. Published as catalogue of an exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles (April-June 1994), Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D. C. (June-September 1994) and the Renaissance Society at the University of Chicago (September-November 1994).
