- Summary:
- Gilbert & George are the world's most enduring and controversial artist duo working today, and the first to transform themselves into a permanent, living work of art. Incorporating their lives, fears, desires, and beliefs into their practice, they have been celebrated as frank observers of the human condition and accused of reactionary posturing, obscenity, and profanity. Much has been written on their Singing Sculpture and photo-pieces but vital importance of the artists' use of video and film has been neglected until now. Book jacket.
