Making art during the era of the so-called \u0026lsquo;culture wars\u0026rsquo; in America, which polarised society on key subjects of socio-political relevance along ideological lines, Gonzalez-Torres created artworks through a distinct political consciousness. Issues such as abortion rights, the place of religion, sexual freedom, censorship, guns, property and privacy were (and still remain) battleground between \u0026lsquo;progressives\u0026rsquo; and \u0026lsquo;conservatives\u0026rsquo; in the determination of individual rights and freedoms.

The back of each T-shirt bears the legend \u0026ldquo;NOBODY OWNS ME\u0026rdquo; in green text. The subject of ownership was a recurring theme in Gonzalez-Torres\u0026rsquo; work, in terms of both its conceptual characteristics, but also its consideration of politics. The influence of Ronald Reagan on modern conservatism had profound effect on American society, with the introduction of neo-liberal economics as well as legislation intended to define the limits of individual liberalisms affecting women, homosexuals and other minorities in particular. The artist stated: \u0026ldquo;How can we talk about private events, when our bodies have been legislated by the state?

In 1996 stierf hij vroegtijdig aan AIDS. Gonzalez-Torres maakte kunst tijdens de periode van de zogenaamde \u0026#39;culture wars\u0026#39; in Amerika, die de samenleving ideologisch polariseerden rond belangrijke sociaal-politieke relevante onderwerpen. Hij cre\u0026euml;erde kunstwerken vanuit een duidelijk politiek bewustzijn: kwesties als abortusrechten, de plaats van religie, seksuele vrijheid, censuur, wapens, eigendom en privacy waren (en zijn nog steeds) een strijdtoneel tussen \u0026#39;progressieven\u0026#39; en \u0026#39;conservatieven\u0026#39; bij het bepalen van individuele rechten en vrijheden. Het werk \u0026lsquo;\u003cem\u003eUntitled\u003c/em\u003e\u0026rsquo; werd in 1994 gemaakt in opdracht van modeontwerpster Agn\u0026egrave;s b. als een t-shirt in gelimiteerde oplage. Op de achterkant van elk T-shirt staat \u0026lsquo;NOBODY OWNS ME\u0026rsquo;, in het groen gedrukt. Eigendom was een terugkerend thema in het werk van Gonzalez-Torres, zowel op conceptueel als op politiek vlak. Ronald Reagans versie van modern conservatisme had een diepgaand effect op de Amerikaanse samenleving, met de introductie van een neoliberale economie en een wetgeving die bedoeld was om de grenzen te bepalen van een soort \u0026#39;individueel kapitalisme\u0026#39;, dat in het bijzonder vrouwen en homoseksuelen en andere minderheden trof. De kunstenaar verklaarde: \u0026ldquo;Hoe kunnen we praten over priv\u0026eacute;gebeurtenissen, wanneer ons lichaam wettelijk vastgelegd werd door de staat?
