www.tate.org.uk/art/artworks/gonzalez-torres-untitled-double-portrait-t13309"The sheets carry an abstract double ring design in gold ink, in which the rings touch very slightly. This is closely related to a similar, wall-based work by the artist in which two rings made of brass are shown side by side. In both works these rings could be seen as matching wedding bands, referencing the use of both the circle and the figure eight form as symbols of eternity or enduring love. This motif, or that of two identical circular objects (such as mirrors, clocks, metal rings and light bulbs), occurs frequently in Gonzalez-Torres’s work as a sign of ‘perfect lovers’, representing two people, their bodies and consciousness, which are united. In its use of exact symmetry, it also alludes to homosexual love"but must make a charity contrbution to an upstanding charity and mail me confo I got this a decade ago I think. its a bit creased and not mint, but its a nice big piece that those nespresso typs in shiny new flats in the docklands would like without knowing the background story no fucking COA.
