Félix González-Torres was a Cuban-American visual artist who, at 39, died due to complications related to AIDS. His partner, Ross Laycock, died five years before González-Torres. One piece inspired by this loss, Untitled (1991) is a billboard of the top half of an empty bed. Against a white wall are white pillows, sheets, and a white comforter, rumpled from recent use.

González-Torres's work that signals absence best relates to whose artistic practice?
