<p>Felix Gonzalez-Torres’s intention was for the current owner to be named in the <em>Certificates of Authenticity and Ownership</em> for certain malleable and manifestable works, whenever possible. Additionally, it was intended that the language of these certificates could change over time in keeping with the evolving ability to perceive and describe the specific, yet open-ended nature of the work. The Foundation’s current policy is to continue the practice of the re-issuance of <em>Certificates of Authenticity and Ownership</em> for such works. </p> <p>The Foundation considers re-issuance of lost <em>Certificates of Authenticity and Ownership</em> and <em>Certificates of Authenticity</em> on a case-by-case basis.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="clearfix"></div> </div> </section> </section> </div> <footer class="divider show4col"><span class="container clearfix"><div class='divider'></div><div class='footer-cols'><div class="footer-col1"><p>The Felix Gonzalez-Torres Foundation<br /> 544 West 24th Street <br /> New York, NY 10011</p></div><div class="footer-col2"><p>General Inquiries<br /><a href="mailto:info@felixgonzalez-torresfoundation.org">info@felixgonzalez-torresfoundation.org</a><br /> tel:  212.414.4242</p></div><div class="footer-col3"><p><a href="/selected-monographs-and-solo-catalogues/terms-and-conditions-of-website-use">Terms and Conditions of Website Use</a></p></div><div class="footer-col4"><p>© 2002-2024 Felix Gonzalez-Torres Foundation</p></div></div></span></footer> <a id="backToTop" href="#top" >Back To Top</a> </body> </html>
