Gilbert and George June 29, 2008

Gilbert Proesch and George Passmore, two sculptors who met in college, have been creating work for the last forty years that, according to TimeOut London, "tap into public opinion at just the right time." Confronting the punk anger and racial tensions of the '70s to consumer capitalism in the '80s to the terrorism fears of today, the artists' brightly colored photomontages, though comprised of images gathered within walking distance of the artists' home on London's East Side, are raw examinations of human experience. 'Gilbert and George' features 200 works that trace the stylistic and emotional development of the artists--now icons as the central figures in their art.
