PART ONE

• Complete the Homework

Compile an Annotated List of Web Resources on Felix Gonzalez, artist and their art style this week?

ARTIST-. Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Work - Untitled (USA Today)1990, “Candies in the Red, Silver, and Blue Wrappers. Endless Supply”. Do some research online and develop a list of 10-15 web resources that would help someone learn about their work and/or the 1970s “pluralistic” art world as a whole. For each web link, includes a brief 2-4 sentence annotation, explaining its value to the student.

For example (dealing with a more recent artwork): Web Address

http://www.moma.org/collection//browse_results.php?criteria=O%3AAD%3AE

%3A31040&page_number=&template_id=6&sort_order=1

EXAMPLE of sentences TO FOLLOW posting of Web Address.

The Museum of Modern Art website includes essential information for learning about the American photographer Alan Sekula’s most famous work, Fish Story.

Not only does the museum include images of the work, but also some of the writing composed by the artist to accompany his photographs. The information is helpful for understanding the subject matter and artistic intent of the project.

For research purposes, PLEASE NOTE: choose websites with “.org” or “.edu” web addresses “only”
