Author Information

Gilbert & George began creating art together in 1967 when they met at Central St Martins. From the beginning, in their films and 'Living Sculpture' performances, they have appeared as figures in their own art. The 'two men, one artist' believe that everything is a potential subject matter for art. They address social issues and taboos, challenging what might be considered 'good taste'. The backdrop and inspiration for much of their art is the East End of London where Gilbert & George have lived for nearly 50 years.
