Felix Gonzalez-Torres and Roni Horn "Paired, Gold"
Guggenheim Museum
This event has ended.
The aesthetic dialogue between Felix Gonzalez-Torres and Roni Horn is embodied in an exchange of gold, a reciprocal gift between two artists that resonates with the poetry of their respective projects.
Experienced together, Horn’s Gold Field (1980–82) and the recent acquisition, Gonzalez-Torres’s “Untitled” (Golden), reflect on the artists’ respect for the evocative potential of minimal form and the symbolic valence of pure color. The fragile beauty of the works suspends commonplace meanings attached to gold as a source of wealth and extravagance, inviting instead a kind of poetic reverie on its materiality and symbolic resonance.
