Designed to complement rather than illustrate the sparse poetic conceptualism of Gonzalez-Torres' work, this catalogue is illustrated with both small reproductions of his sculptural works and full-page reproductions of his series of graph paper drawings, Untitled (21 Days of Bloodwork - Steady Decline).

An all-star cast of critics, artists and writers including Amada Cruz, Russel Ferguson and bell hooks discuss the artist's evocation of memory, pleasure and desire towards the greater sociological import of his work. Ann Goldstein brings to light the potency of the work's autobiographical content, and Joseph Kosuth explores the relationship of Gonzalez-Torres to Minimalism. This catalog is an essential addition to any library, and is itself, in both design and content, a beautiful homage to this important contemporary artist.
