"Untitled" (Placebo)

Felix Gonzalez-Torres · 1991

This one's called "Untitled" (Placebo) — an installation by Felix Gonzalez-Torres, nineteen ninety-one. Gonzalez-Torres was part of the Minimalism movement. Candies, individually wrapped in silver cellophane (endless supply) — about 0.1 by 3.8 meters. It is an odd shape for a picture: about 3.8 metres one way and 0.1 the other, so it reads as a band rather than a window.
