Introducing Gilbert & George
Gilbert & George's art is for everyone - in their own words, an 'art for all'. Their sculptures, photographic works, drawings and photographic pieces address fundamental human issues and concerns: sex, death, violence, religion, alcoholism, fear and racial tension. Humorous and subversive, amusing and shocking, they are in the tradition of England's finest socially engaged artists. In this guide, eminent art historian, critic and close friend of the artists Robert Rosenblum looks back at their entire career since they met at St Martin's School of Art in 1967 and started working together. Some of their most important works, from the Singing Sculptures of the late 1960s to their very latest large, colourful, multipanel pictures, are here to illustrate Rosenblum's lively and perceptive text, while quotes from the artists provide a fascinating insight into their lives, works and personalities. Introducing Gilbert & George is the perfect introduction to two of the most important and popular living artists in the world today.
Gilbert & George: New Normal Pictures
The latest installation in Gilbert & George's street-level explorations of modern life in London's East End Created over the past three years, this series from artist duo Gilbert & George offers a surreal, day-glo view of London in which everything is slightly off kilter, with the artists pictured catching their balance or toppling over amidst an ever-shifting post-industrial urban landscape.

What is Gilbert & George?
In answering the question posed by its title, and drawing on his twenty year relationship with the artists, Michael Bracewell is the first writer to engage directly with Gilbert & George to understand why they have devoted their lives exclusively and continuously - to the vision of art they conceived within months of first meeting. What emerges piece by piece is a portrait of Gilbert & George as two men who are infinitely more intense, strange, determined and alone than their longstanding public image suggests.

Gilbert & George
Gilbert and George are said to be among the most important and original artists of the late 20th century. Critics have come to recognize the artists' vision and to regard some of their works as among the major pictures of the century. Gilbert (from the Italian Dolomites) and George (from Totnes) met at St Martin's School of Art in the late 1960s and formed an immediate friendship. This is an informal portrait in which they reminisce about their family upbringing, their friendship, life in Spitalfields, and their relish of the mixed cultures of the East End. With their distinctive trademark single-breasted, three-button suits and their famously studied but courteous composure, Gilbert and George set out as artists without a gallery. From living, and singing, sculptures, they developed a line in controversial subject matter that extends from the Dirty Words Pictures to The Naked Shit and The Fundamental pictures.
