"What is true for the "stacks" can be said about almost every work by Felix Gonzalez-Torres: They are the result of a very close observation of the social, cultural, and political realities, whose complexities are translated into simple forms. Subjective experiences and formulations expressing social criticism form the integral parts of an œuvre with which Felix-Gonzalez-Torres has reinvented politically active art in a new form during the nineties." extract from the preface by Frank Wagner
