The Art of Gilbert and George or an Aesthetic of Existence

This book, the first comprehensive account of the artists' evolution into one of the most provocative and original stances in contemporary art, covers every aspect of Gilbert and George's work. From their appearances in the 1960s as "living sculptures" to their more recent graphic and photographic works, which embrace the everyday confusion, disarray, menace and meaninglessness experienced in life while seeming to reject the traditional social and philosophical categories that define our lives.
