Felix Gonzalez-Torres Billboard Project

On the occasion of Art Basel Hong Kong, K11 Art Foundation in partnership with Andrea Rosen Gallery will present an iconic Felix Gonzalez-Torres (b.1957, Cuba – d. 1996, Miami) billboard work, “Untitled”, 1995. The work will be exhibited at K11 Art Mall, in tram shelters and transportation hubs throughout the city, and at the gallery’s booth at Art Basel Hong Kong.

The artist’s work has been exhibited in dozens of one-person museum survey exhibitions and is in the permanent collections of over 40 institutions worldwide. This presentation marks a historically significant moment as it is the first time Gonzalez-Torres‘ work is being shown in Hong Kong and only the second time in China. By placing the billboard artwork enigmatically free of logos or advertising in a space used for commerce, the boundary between personal contemplation and public address becomes distinctly blurred.
