| Summary: | "Always to Return examines Felix Gonzalez-Torres's work in relation to portraiture and accompanies a major exhibition of the same name at the National Portrait Gallery and the Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution. As one of the leading artists of the twentieth century, Gonzalez-Torres broadened the horizon of portraiture from a genre associated with static representations of individuals to one with the capacity to change, remain resonant, and encourage collaboration. With no formal beginning or end point, the exhibition and monograph unfold at the intersection of Gonzalez-Torres's groundbreaking work, the context of two Smithsonian collections, and the historically significant setting of Washington, DC."--Radius Books webpage.
