  • Catalogue Essay

    Since they often felt woozy from drink in the early 1970’s Gilbert and George’s photo-pieces from that time tend to distort the image, to put it in odd perspective, break it down into fragments, or run two images together in a tipsy confusion.
    Gilbert & George, The Complete Pictures 1971 - 1985, Stuttgart, 1986, p. XV
