Gilbert & George

Price: €16

Gilbert & George have created art together since 1967, when they met at Saint Martin’s School of Art in London and decided that their art should be understood as emerging from a single source. Theirs would be, in their words, ‘art for all’, in contrast to what they saw as the overly cerebral and elitist Minimalist and Conceptual work that was dominant at the time.

Specific & General Works
Lawrence Weiner
Published by Le Nouveau Musée/Institut d'Art Contemporain, Villeurbanne, 1993, 734 pp. (b/w ill.), 17 × 24 cm, French/English/German/Dutch/Greek/Italian/Japanese/Swedish
Price: €95

Conceived as the second edition to Weiner’s Works (1977), Specific & General Works presents a broad selection of purely textual works by Lawrence Weiner from 1968 to 1993.

Weiner’s body of work has at its core a fundamental questioning of the conventions of objecthood in relation to the producer and its viewer. He used language as the primary medium for his works since the late 1960s. Presented in capital letters, his structures consisting of language, or text fragments, often accompanied by graphic marks and lines, have been exhibited around the world and interpreted into numerous languages.
