Introducing Gilbert & George by
Robert Rosenblum(
Book
)
2 editions published in 2004 in English and held by 293 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"Gilbert & George are artists of our time. Theirs is an art for everyone, a democratic art - in their own words, an 'art for all'. In their sculptures, photographic works, drawings and performance pieces, they address fundamental human issues and concerns: sex, death, religion, corruption, violence, fear, racial tension and alcoholism. Humorous and subversive, amusing and shocking, they are in the tradition of England's finest socially engaged artists." "In this guide, eminent art historian, critic and close friend of the artists Robert Rosenblum looks back at their entire career since they met at St Martin's School of Art in London in 1967 and first started working together. Some of their most important works, from the Singing Sculptures of the late 1960s to their very latest large, colourful, multipanel pictures, are here to illustrate Rosenblum's text, while quotes from the artists provide an insight into their lives, works and personalities. Introducing Gilbert & George is an overview of two of the most important and popular living artists in the world today."--BOOK JACKET

Barry Flanagan : early works 1965-1982 by
Barry Flanagan(
Book
)
2 editions published in 2011 in English and held by 214 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
& Quot;Barry Flanagan was one of Britain's most original and inventive artists and a key figure in the development of British and international sculpture. He is best known for the large-scale bronze hare sculptures that he began producing in the early 1980s and that can be seen in many galleries and public spaces around the world. The success of these pieces has tended to obscure the equally important and very different work that characterised his early period. Made from materials as varied as cloth, plaster, sand, hessian and rope, these works highlight a concern with material properties and processes - a concern that is at the heart of his practice. A contemporary of Gilbert & George, Flanagan studied sculpture at St Martin's School of Art from 1964 to 1966. The exhibition takes this period as a starting point and reveals the impact of this early work on his later development towards casting in bronze, which he began in 1979. This is the first major retrospective of Flanagan's work in London since 1983, and by focusing on his early works, shows how this radical and imaginative artist challenged the very nature of sculpture in his time."--Publisher's website

Gilbert & George : the Singing sculpture by
Carter Ratcliff(
Book
)
4 editions published between 1972 and 1993 in English and held by 148 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"From Publishers Weekly In their paintings, sculptures, photo-pieces and performances, the British duo Gilbert & George have proven themselves witty, subversive social commentators. This oversize, profusely illustrated album documents The Singing Sculpture , a performance piece in which Gilbert & George--impeccably dressed, their faces and hands splotched with metallic paint--stand on a table and impersonate automatons who repetitively croon a Depression-era music-hall song about two London tramps. The duo baffled and entranced New York City gallery-goers with this "living sculpture" in 1971 and again in 1991. Art historian Rosenblum interprets the piece as a commentary on homelessness, poverty and the mechanization of popular entertainment. Ratcliff, contributing editor of Art in America , provocatively presents Gilbert & George as didactic artists who celebrate the world and who attempt to awaken each member of their audiences to his or her true individuality. This is the first title from a new publisher, and it's a stunner. Copyright 1993 Reed Business Information, Inc."--Amazon

Gilbert & George(
Book
)
3 editions published in 2017 in English and held by 61 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"Since 1967, renowned artists Gilbert & George have made themselves into their art, sacrificing their individual identities to devote themselves to a more democratic art practice, which they call 'Art for All.' This catalogue presents their formative early work, The General Jungle or Carrying on Sculpting (1971). Comprised of twenty-three monumental, multi-panel charcoal-on-paper sculptures depicting the artists wandering streets and parks in London and inscribed with philosophical slogans, The General Jungle or Carrying on Sculpting was first exhibited at the Sonnabend Gallery in New York in 1971. Published in conjunction with Lévy Gorvy's exhibition of the work, this fully illustrated catalogue features a newly commissioned essay by Michael Bracewell based on a recent interview with the artists, an original poem by Kostas Anagnopoulos, newspaper reviews from the inaugural exhibition at the Sonnabend Gallery, and a facsimile of the postal sculpture A Day in the Life of George & Gilbert, the sculptors (1971)." -- Publisher's description

Gilbert Proesch and George Passmore met as students in 1967 and have been working together ever since. Italian and British respectively, they are known by a combination of their first names and have always put themselves at the center of their art. For the last 40 years, Gilbert & George have spanned the international art scene with as much insolence as elegance. This interview by modern art curator Hans Ulrich Obrist focuses on Gilbert & George's archiving system. In it, they discuss not only what they keep (all of their own images, plus all articles in the media about themselves), but how it is ordered (images are coded by color) and their observation on the headlines they are afforded, and what they say about the times in which they were written
