gilbert & george are among the foremost artists of their generation. they were among the earliest artists to explore performance and daily life as an art forms, to mingle photography and graphics in a style reminiscent of advertising and to address sexual identity in their work. in fact, they were one of the earliest artists to do much that viewers now take for granted.
their work has been exhibited worldwide since the beginning of the 1970s and is either unusually accessible or completely unpalatable, depending on the viewer’s mindset. it has attracted both fierce controversy and enormous acclaim, including the 1986 turner prize and the UK’s slot at the 2005 venice biennale.
now, on the fortieth anniversary of their meeting (september 25, 1967, saint martin’s, london), here are two books, designed and produced by the artists. this luxurious two-volume hardcover set, which comes in a customized carrying case with handles, documents every picture the pair has created over the course of their 35-year career. with details and installation views of many pieces as well as 1,500 color illustrations.
1,200 pages in two volumes. 11.8” x 10.3”.
