The Brooklyn Museum is the final venue of an international tour of the first retrospective in more than twenty years of work by the internationally acclaimed artists Gilbert & George.
The exhibition comprises more than eighty pictures created since 1970, among them more than a dozen that are only in the Brooklyn presentation. The exhibition traces their stylistic and emotional evolution through their pictures and art in other media, ranging from charcoal on paper sculpture from the early 1970s to postcard pieces to ephemera dating back to the 1960s. read full details here
Artist’s Talk Saturday, October 04, 2008 7:00 p.m.
Celebrating the opening of their show at the Brooklyn Museum of Art, Gilbert & George will give a talk as part of the BMA Target First Saturdays. Limited seating—first come, first served.
Don’t miss this unique opportunity to meet the legendary British duo who put themselves at the center of their artwork. Identifying as “living sculptures” in art and daily life, they eliminate the distinction between artist and art. Gilbert & George is the largest retrospective to date of their work.
Organized by the Tate Modern in London, this exhibition brings together a selection of pictures that span their entire forty-year career, and coincides with the most extensive publication of the artists’ work ever assembled, Gilbert & George: The Complete Pictures, 1971–2005 (Aperture/Tate Publishing, London).
