Who are Gilbert & George?
Gilbert Prousch and George Passmore are artists who met while studying sculpture at St Martin’s School of Art in London in 1967. Gilbert is an Italian and George an Englishman.
Sometimes described as a collaborative duo they don’t agree and have said “It’s not a collaboration….We are two people, but one artist.”
Gilbert & George Art
During the 50 years that they have created art together, they have used a number of different mediums but unusually classified all their work as sculpture. They have also incorporated themselves into the majority of their sculptures. To begin to understand just a little about these wonderful gentlemen and their work, there are some articles on the Museum of Modern Art.
The Early Years
Between May and September this year, the Museum of Modern Art in New York held an exhibition of their Early Years’ work. As part of this exhibition, they commissioned a short film where we were able to film Gilbert & George talking about their early work.
