Acrylic on linen
150 x 150 cm
Great AIDS (Quinacridone Rose Deep) is part of a new series of AIDS paintings conceived by the group in 1990, but only executed by AA Bronson in 2019, 25 years after the death of Felix Partz and Jorge Zontal from AIDS-related causes. The AIDS logo appears mirrored along the canvas’s horizontal and vertical axes. The Great AIDS motif was initially produced as an AIDS Scarf edition, launched in 1991 for the German AIDS Foundation.
