{"product_id":"felix-gonzalez-torres-always-to-return","title":"Felix Gonzalez-Torres: Always to Return","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"ewa-rteLine\"\u003eThis book examines Felix Gonzalez-Torres's work in relation to portraiture and follows a major exhibition of the same name at the National Portrait Gallery and the Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution. As one of the leading artists of the twentieth century, Gonzalez-Torres broadened the horizon of portraiture from a genre associated with static representations of individuals to one with the capacity to change, remain resonant, and encourage collaboration. With no formal beginning or end point, the exhibition and monograph unfold at the intersection of Gonzalez-Torres's groundbreaking work, the context of two Smithsonian collections, and the historically significant setting of Washington, DC.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ewa-rteLine\"\u003eAlways to Return weaves together documentation of the exhibition with new scholarship by the exhibition's curators, Josh T Franco and Charlotte Ickes; essays by Julie Ault and Joshua Chambers-Letson; and archival texts that shape the conceptual foundation for the exhibition. This in-depth look at the artist‚Äôs relationship to portraiture and historiography provides a new way into the practice of one the most significant artists of our time.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ewa-rteLine\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ewa-rteLine\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ewa-rteLine\"\u003eArtwork by Felix Gonzalez-Torres\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ewa-rteLine\"\u003eContributions by Charlotte Ickes, Josh T Franco, Julie Ault, Joshua Chambers-Letson, and Teresita Fernandez\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ewa-rteLine\"\u003eCo-published with the National Portrait Gallery and the Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ewa-rteLine\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Hardcover.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePage count: 340 pages \/ 160 images.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeasures: 8.75 x 11.75 inches.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Smithsonian American Art Museum National Portrait Gallery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51855578333477,"sku":"9798890181107","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0937\/2490\/1669\/files\/9798890181107.jpg?v=1767912373","url":"https:\/\/saamnpgstore.si.edu\/products\/felix-gonzalez-torres-always-to-return","provider":"Smithsonian American Art Museum National Portrait Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
