The candid, revealing inside story of one of the great and most original art acts of our time: the enigmatic ‘living sculptures’ based in Spitalfields in London’s East End, who are now widely recognised as perhaps the most important living artists on the international scene.
Written with the full cooperation of Gilbert and George, this will be a definitive biography (with illustration sections) rather than a pure art book: very much along the lines fo the author’s vivid, intimate, bestselling portrayal of THE GILDED GUTTER LIFE OF FRANCIS BACON.
Gilbert and George have marketed their work with extraordinary single-mindedness since they appeared together in the late 1960s. Their technique – taking thousands of photographs, assembling a theme in panels and dyeing them in vivid colours – is unequalled. Whether you love them or hate them, they are two of the most exciting artists alive. Their relationship appears odd to the outsider, but is undeniably a great love story. Their appearance (identical three-buttoned suits) has become their trademark.
Born in 1927, Daniel Farson was the author of bestsellers including Jack the Ripper, The Man Who Wrote Dracula and Never A Normal Man. He was a TV reporter, photographer, biographer and art critic.
