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 “Researching at Visual AIDS” page for more information about scheduling a research visit.
