A biography of the artists Gilbert and George. They have marketed their work with single-mindedness since they appeared together in the late 1960s. Their technique "D" taking thousands of photographs, assembling a theme in panels and dyeing them in vivid colours, is unequalled. Their relationship appears odd to the outsider, but is undeniably a great love story. Their appearance (identical three-buttoned suits) has become their trademark.

Cloth. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. First Edition. Hardback. First Edition. Gilbert & George. Tiny nip to top edge of spine of D/J. Gilbert & George are unquestionably among the most important and original artists of our time. In this delightful and engagingly informal portrait, Gilbert & George reminisce about their family upbrining in the country (George in Totnes, Gilbert in the Italian Dolomites), their immediate friendship at St. martin's School of Art in the late 1960s, their life in Spitalfields 'stripped to the best essentials', and their relish of the mixed cultures of the East End. They proclaim certain arears to be no-go: their art is not autobiographical, and 'we believe we deal with sex in the gentle way we want to in our pictures. If sexual confession was a way of changing society we'd do it, but we believe in doing it through out pictures'. With their distinctive trademark single-breasted, three-button suits and their famously studied but courteous composures, Gilbert & George set out as artists without a gallery, an almost blasphemous conception at the time. From living, and singing, sculptures, they developed a line in controversial subject-matter that extends from the Dirty Words pictures to The Naked Shit Pictures and The Fundamental Pictures. As exponents of photo-based are, they are, as writer David Sylvester has remarked, perhaps second only to Andy Warhol. One of the pleasures of this book is seeing how so many critics (including Farson himself) have come to recognise the artists' vision and to regard some of their works as among the major pictures of the century.
