"Untitled" (L.A.)
You are welcome to take a piece of candy.
Made of everyday, non-art material, “Untitled” (L.A.) is designed to suggest a wide range of meanings. Unlike most works of art, guests are able to touch and taste. Felix Gonzalez-Torres created "Untitled" (L.A.) in Los Angeles in 1991, the same year his longtime partner Ross Laycock died of complications from AIDS. By providing for the endless replenishment of this supply of this candy, the artist symbolically grants this work everlasting life.
