> DESCRIPTION

Paired, Gold: Felix Gonzalez-Torres and Roni Horn brings together two important works from the permanent collection for the first time, illuminating the profound dialogue between two contemporary artists. Gonzalez-Torres’s newly acquired “Untitled” (Golden) (1995) functions as a site of passage, a shimmering curtain of golden beads opening onto Horn’s golden floor piece, Gold Field (1980–82). The paired works reflect a critical engagement with the legacy of Minimalism and the emotive possibilities of form.
