Reina Sofía exhibition of Felix Gonzalez-Torres draws criticism for its focus

The Reina Sofía museum in Madrid is showing more than 50 works by Felix Gonzalez-Torres.

The exhibition highlights his childhood as a Cuban refugee and explains how some works are meant to be displayed or changed.

A review argues that this focus on form and instructions leaves out much of the political meaning of his art.

That matters because the artist’s work can be both visually appealing and a way to engage with political issues.
