Happy birthday to Felix Gonzalez-Torres, the artist who taught us that candy piles and billboards could speak louder than words! Your minimalist installations continue to inspire—and confuse—museum-goers everywhere. Who knew a stack of paper or strings of lights could spark such profound contemplation (and occasional snack cravings)?Your powerful "Untitled" billboard series challenged perceptions while your poignant Dateline portraits reminded everyone how deeply personal art can be. Even today, galleries worldwide celebrate you by restocking candies endlessly—a sweet tribute indeed! Here's hoping wherever you're celebrating now has plenty of sweets and endless inspiration; we miss your brilliance every day.
