“Untitled (Portrait of Ross in L.A.)” is a famous artwork made by artist Felix Gonzalez-Torres.
The candy pile originally weighed 175 pounds — the same weight as his partner Ross, who died from AIDS. Visitors are allowed to take candies, causing the pile to slowly shrink over time, symbolizing Ross fading away due to illness.
This emotional artwork became one of the most powerful symbols of love, loss, and memory in modern art.
