Chuck Close letter to myself
I totally don’t know what this one is called.
It’s Felix Gonzalez-Torres’s “Untitled” (America #1)! Come hear a gallery talk on this piece on Thursday.
“I wanted to create a condition—a struggle. It was about roadblocks on every level—cultural, gender, racial—regardless that they’re there. It is important to continue. You keep going and so that’s what it was. And I made the shot. I always make the shot. Sometimes it takes me a little longer to get there. But I always make the shot.”
