Gilbert & George

including the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York and the Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris.
About Gilbert & George
Gilbert & George have been around for decades, producing works in their unique style - huge brightly-coloured photo-based collage-pictures on a black grid - has become their well-known visual signature.
Over the years they have developed new ways of showing taboo-grating images of the social world. At the heart of most Gilbert & George works we see the artists themselves: a model relationship of equals, as they say themselves, always harmonious, acting as one to produce their art without pretension, to find them just look in the Yellow Pages under “Artist”
They are also well-known for being a 'living sculpture'. When they first came up with this idea - rather than make the art, being the art - it was an exciting challenge to the rather more obvious modernist abstract welded steel things that everybody else was calling sculpture.
Even now it's a good idea, especially since they've been doing it so consistently for so long, even though a number of other people during the last 30 years, from artists to pop stars, have also decided that copying them and saying their life is art.
So that's Gilbert & George, using bright, advertising-style displays - a language everyone understands - to communicate something surprising. Whether it really works or not is unclear but I think it's nice that they had a go that they continue to want to shock, and that they're still a bit puzzling.
