The Carl George, Felix Gonzalez-Torres & Ross Laycock Archive at Visual AIDS

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 part of Carl George’s Artist+ Member file, housed within the Visual AIDS Archive Project.

The collection is a testament to a long-lasting friendship between Carl George, Felix Gonzalez-Torres and Ross Laycock, 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.

As a whole, the Carl George / Felix Gonzalez-Torres / Ross Laycock Archive at Visual AIDS is significant to the preservation of HIV/AIDS history and art history as it provides information about the life and death of Laycock (b. 1959, Calgary, Canada – d. 1991,Toronto, Canada) and Gonzalez-Torres (b. 1957, Guaimaro, Cuba – d. 1996, Miami), documenting a relationship that inspired the oeuvre of Gonzalez-Torres.

Visual AIDS is free and open to the public. Access to The Carl George / Felix Gonzalez-Torres / Ross Laycock Archives at Visual AIDS is open to any and all individuals by appointment, regardless of affiliation.
