StoreThe Carl George, Felix Gonzalez-Torres & Ross Laycock Collection
The Carl George / Felix Gonzalez-Torres / Ross Laycock Archive at Visual AIDS is a document collection on loan to Visual AIDS from artist Carl George.
The collection is a testament to a long-lasting friendship between Carl George (b. 1958), Felix Gonzalez-Torres (1957–1996), and Ross Laycock (1959–1991), and offers a window into the love, respect and humor of three friends who shared a deep, personal understanding of how AIDS affected every aspect of their lives.
The collection provides a rare source of information on Ross Laycock and Felix Gonzalez-Torres’s relationship, illuminating connections that inspired the oeuvre of Gonzalez-Torres.
The finding aid for the collection is available here.
The Carl George / Felix Gonzalez-Torres / Ross Laycock Archive at Visual AIDS is open for viewing to any and all individuals by appointment. See the Visual AIDS Archive and Artist Registry page for more information about scheduling a research visit.
