Softcover with full-colour photographic wrappers. Published by the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington, D.C., 1994. 22 × 28 cm, 79 pages. Publisher: Distributed Art Publishers (DAP).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCondition: Good vintage condition. Light surface wear, minor handling marks, and gentle edge softening. The marks remain part of the record: evidence of circulation, storage, handling, and transfer. A museum publication retained long enough to change status.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePublished on the occasion of the 1994 exhibition devoted to Félix González-Torres, one of the defining figures of late twentieth-century conceptual practice. The catalogue gathers essays by Russell Ferguson, Charles Merewether, Joseph Kosuth, bell hooks, and others, positioning the artist's work within discussions of intimacy, public space, political visibility, loss, abstraction, and desire. The inclusion of bell hooks' text \u003cem\u003esubversive beauty: new modes of contestation\u003c\/em\u003e situates the publication within a broader cultural and theoretical discourse extending beyond contemporary art alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe publication functions simultaneously as exhibition document, theoretical reader, and historical record. Reproductions move between grids, photographs, light-based works, and installations, reflecting the unstable status of González-Torres's practice: objects that circulate, disappear, replenish themselves, and exist through repeated manifestation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn increasingly uncommon catalogue from a pivotal moment in the artist's career. More visible in institutional collections and academic references than in regular commercial circulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOriginal period item.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53621408137554,"sku":"GONZALEZ-TORRES-HIRSHHORN-CAT-1994","price":120.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0991\/5636\/1554\/files\/Gonzalez-Torres_Felix._Hirshborne_Museum_and_Sculpture_museum_Washington_DC._1994_front.jpg?v=1780347716","url":"https:\/\/thenewrare.com\/products\/felix-gonzalez-torres-hirshhorn-museum-sculpture-garden-washington-dc-1994","provider":"The New Rare","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
