Felix Gonzalez-torres

Felix Gonzales-torres is mentioned heavily in Installation Art: A critical review and also deals with the ephemeral as well as installation. In his work the Candy spills , he invites the viewer to take a piece of candy until they are all gone. He acknowledges that without the audience his work would be incomplete and with a small gesture of generosity he merges the sense of private and public. Dealing with the sense of loss deep embedded in his work but then turning it into a positive experience for the veiwer.
