The Fernando Garcia Project

This blog is dedicated to preserving the life and art legacy of conceptual artist Fernando Garcia who died in 1988. There were so many artists lost during this terrible time from the AIDS virus. As a result of his untimely death, many of his artworks are held in private collections with very few pieces every coming to market and Fernando seems to have become forgotten. We can't let this happen as Fernando is the most influential Cuban- American conceptual artist of the 70s and 80s. He paved the way for other artists with large displays of conceptual art in public places, not to mention his performance art work with the " NADA" group (conceptual performance artists) which created original impromptu conceptual and performance art in public places like train stations, fronts of restaurants etc.
