Curator Jan Debbaut introduces the work of Gilbert & George, while novelist and cultural commentator Michael Bracewell considers the vital role the East End of London has played in the artists’ work, exploring their relationship with the city. Art historian and critic Marco Livingstone challenges the viewer to abandon their preconceptions before the artists’ work and experience the world-view of Gilbert & George in all its powerful intensity.
A series of quotations by the artists, commenting upon their work and their position as ‘living sculptures’, are featured throughout the book and provide a fascinating insight into their artistic practice. With an illustrated chronology and bibliography designed by the artists, this is an affordable and comprehensive introduction to two of the most significant artists working today.
