The Carl George, Felix Gonzalez-Torres & Ross Laycock Collection

The Carl George / Felix Gonzalez-Torres / Ross Laycock Archive at Visual AIDS is a document collection that was on loan to Visual AIDS by artist Carl George from 2016-2025.

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 collection is no longer available for access at Visual AIDS. More information about its new location and availability will be shared at a later date.
