gilbert and george the complete pictures

Lehmann Maupin Gallery is proud to announce a special booksigning event in New York with Gilbert & George. The signing will take place on Saturday, 12 May at the gallery (540 West 26th Street), from 4-6pm. A Traditional Afternoon tea will also be provided by Fortnum and Mason. Due to the limited number of books we recommend you arrive early.



'Gilbert & George: The Complete Pictures' was entirely designed by the artists themselves. The two-volume book contains every picture they have created over the last 35 years and comes complete with a unique carrying case that is a work of art in itself.

Known for their controversial artwork, Gilbert & George are widely regarded as the pre-eminent artists of their generation. The volume was published on the eve of a massive retrospective exhibition that opened at Tate Modern, London in February 2007, which will tour to five other major venues across the globe, including the Castello di Rivoli, Haus der Kunst and Brooklyn Museum of Art.

With nearly 1,500 colour illustrations as well as an introductory essay by leading art historian Rudi Fuchs, 'The Complete Pictures' is the most thorough exploration of the art of Gilbert & George to date.
