Works by Felix Gonzalez-Torres feature in "Infinite Blue" and "…circle through New York"

Works by Felix Gonzalez-Torres were part of two exhibitions in New York.

At the Brooklyn Museum, Infinite Bluewas an exhibition of diverse works that variously reference blue—what the museum calls, "a fascinating strand of visual poetry running from ancient times to the present day." Hanging in a series of doorways inside the museum lobby was Felix Gonzalez-Torres’s last "curtain" work, "Untitled" (Water) (1995), made from strands of blue, silver, and translucent plastic beads. The show was part of A Year of Yes: Reimagining Feminism at the Brooklyn Museum, a yearlong series of ten exhibitions celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art.

The work "Untitled" (Public Opinion) (1991) was included in … circle through New York, a project in which selected artworks rotated among six public locations in the city from March 1 through August 30. Situated around an imaginary circle drawn through Harlem, the South Bronx, Queens, and Manhattan's Upper East Side, the exhibition sites included a pet shop, a TV network, an academic research institute, the Guggenheim, and a church. "Untitled" (Public Opinion) takes the form of spill of cellophane wrapped black rod licorice candies and is displayed as either a corner or a floor piece; as the work traveled around the different locations, it was installed by a team of museum professionals in response to the architecture of each site. This was the first time "Untitled" (Public Opinion) has been exhibited outside the context of a museum or gallery. ...circle through New York was commissioned as part of Guggenheim Social Practice, an initiative made possible by a grant from the Edmond de Rothschild Foundations.
