tumblr_kspdjaHZrz1qzoi9ao1_500Artpace organizes a show of 13 seminal billboards by Felix Gonzales-Torres, the Cuban born Puerto Rican New Yorker who died of AIDS in 1996. Now Dallas, San Antonio, Houston and El Paso will be flaunting works by the artist 1989-1995. One more reason to not miss Texas.
tumblr_kspd6j3FCn1qzoi9ao1_500Felix Gonzales-Torres has been gone but not forgotten. He was in 2007 Venice Biennale, although he had died of AIDS 11 years earlier. His billboards were regular sights in New York during the last five or six years of his life. Now you can see them in Texas in the cities of Houston, Dallas, San Antonio and El Paso. Artpace organized.
