Felix Gonzalez-Torres, "Untitled," (Placebo), 1991One of Gonzalez-Torres’s monumental “candy spills,” “Untitled” (Placebo), 1991, consists of 1,200 pounds of silver-wrapped hard sweets arranged as a stunning carpet on the floor of the gallery space. Visitors are invited to take a sweet and in so doing, contribute to the slow disappearance of the sculpture over the course of the exhibition. Gonzalez-Torres explores similar themes in his stacks of take-away posters, which also depend upon visitors’ participation in the piece.
