Proxima *Super* Nova would not have been possible without the meticulous work of our expert collaborators, who ensured each script was delivered to the highest quality with the same modern tone as the original Proxima Nova while avoiding Latinization. Thanks team!

This is Felix Gonzalez-Torres’s lesser-known 1988 painting work ‘Forbidden Colors’ and part of the statement he released to accompany its first outing at the New Museum that same year. As far as I know, it has only been exhibited publicly 4 times since then 🇵🇸
