Candy

Damien Hirst & Felix Gonzalez-Torres

Private View: 15 October 2013 Blain Southern, London

Blain|Southern last night opened Candy, bringing together works by Damien Hirst & Felix Gonzalez-Torres.

Featured is Gonzalez-Torres’ “Untitled”, 1992, a unique sculpture made of candies individually wrapped in variously coloured cellophane. The Visual Candy paintings, which were made between 1993 and 1995, were created as a direct riposte to an art critic who had dismissed Hirst’s Spot Paintings as ‘just visual candy’.

The viewer is invited to actively participate, freely choosing whether to touch, take or consume the candy.
