Gilbert & George

Gilbert & George - Postcard Art - DelMonico & Prestel 2011

Box-set including two volumes: The Postcard Art of Gilbert & George 1972-1989The Urethra Postcard art of Gilbert & George 2009
The Postcard Art is a representation of the themes that have occupied Gilbert & George art for nearly four decades. This packaged two-volume set illustrates in color all 1,004 recent and vintage Postcard Pictures, most of which have not been previously catalogued or exhibited.
Volume I covers the period from 1972 - 1989, in groups composed of varying arrangements and romantic and historic subjects and begun shortly after Gilbert & George achieved recognition in the art world.
Volume II collects a new and as yet unseen group of 564 Postcard Pictures known as The Urethra Postcard Pictures; - a uniformly formatted series soon to be the subject of a world exhibition tour.
Each is introduced with a perceptive essay by the cultural critic Michael Bracewell, who explains the significance of this art form in the context of the artists' work. Ordered around the Union Flag, landscapes, celebrity, royalty, prostitution, tourist destinations, and other concerns, this collection compiles a crucial but largely unseen component of the artists' important contribution to contemporary art.
