Bibliography: The Felix Gonzalez-Torres Foundation

"The aesthetic dialogue between Felix Gonzalez-Torres and Roni Horn is embodied in an exchange of gold, a reciprocal gift between the two artists that resonates with the poetry of their respective projects. In 1990, Gonzalez-Torres visited Horn's solo exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles, where he first encountered her sculpture "Forms from the Gold Field." 1980-82 (p. 9), fashioned from two pounds of the purest gold compressed into a luminous rectangular mat measuring four by five feet.' Horizontal in orientation, this slender sheet of gold had been folded over itself to create an interior core that seemed to radiate its own light. Set directly on the floor, this softly glowing envelope was the onlv object in the room. While it threatened to dissolve into dazzling immateriality at any moment - into the sense of pure surface that its delicacy invoked - "Forms from the Gold Field" nonetheless held the entire space, mesmerizing anyone who entered the room." extract from Nancy Spector text.
