Gilbert & George: 21ST CENTURY PICTURES
HAYWARD GALLERY PUBLISHING

Book accompanying a landmark exhibition from the pioneering London-based artists. Discover the duo’s pictures from the past 25 years, with vibrant, large-scale images that centre the human experience and reflect their motto, ‘Art for All’. Gilbert & George are some of the most iconic artists to have ever lived, with their monumental commitment to being ‘living sculptures’ and their motto of ‘art for all’ continuing without fail over the last five decades. Their artistic practice spans charcoal sketches to sculptural interventions; however, it is their expansive, vividly coloured pictures that have become globally renowned both inside and outside the contemporary art landscape. Characterised by concise, often single-word titles emblazoned in bold capital letters, each picture becomes a stage for the exploration of societal norms and cultural taboos. From the mundane to the illicit, Gilbert & George’s practice encompasses the full spectrum of human existence, transcending traditional boundaries of taste and propriety. 21ST CENTURY PICTURES will showcase pictures across key series made since 2000, such as NEW HORNY PICTURES (2001), THE LONDON PICTURES (2011), THE BEARD PICTURES (2016) and their more recent CORPSING PICTURES (2022). Through these works, audiences are invited to explore contemporary society through the complexities of hope, fear, sex, religion, corruption, violence, patriotism, addiction, ghosts, death and more. This book chronicles those works in full colour and includes an introduction by Rachel Thomas, an in-depth essay by Michael Bracewell and a new interview with the artists by Hans Ulrich Obrist. A chronology of their practice completes this in-depth volume.
When the pioneering naturalist Gilbert White (1720-93) wrote The Natural History of Selborne (1789), he created one of the greatest and most influential natural history works of all time, his detailed observations about birds and animals providing the cornerstones of modern ecology. In this award-winning biography, Richard Mabey tells the wonderful story of the clergyman - England's first ecologist - whose inspirational naturalist's handbook has become an English classic.
In the story of the reception of Greek tragedy throughout the English-speaking world, Murray is a figure of immense importance. He unlocked the gates of commercial theatre to its performance - and its performance in verse - on both sides of the Atlantic, bringing to the project his enormous personal prestige, especially after his election to the Regius Chair of Greek at Oxford (1908).His Oxford Classical Text of all the complete plays of Euripides lent scholarly weight to his theatrical enterprise; for, passionate though he was about communicating Greek culture to the widest possible public (by the 1920s over a quarter of a million copies of the translations had been sold), he could never be written off as a mere popularizer. Most significant of all, he laid down in the early years of the twentieth century the terms on which scholar and public alike have viewed Greek drama throughout its course and into the twenty-first. It was Murray who insisted, from the pulpit of the popular stage, on the political nature of Greek tragedy (first connecting Troades with the fate of Melos); on its historical resonances (Troades chiming with his own distaste for British conduct of the Boer War); on its social urgency (his support for women's suffrage informing his Medea); on the religious and anthropological assumptions that permeate it (his introduction to Bacchae acknowledging his debt to Jane Harrison); and on the remarkable psychological truth in its delineation of character (emphasized in his notes on Electra). And on all this he insisted as a man with a keen instinct for the theatre, who was deferred to alike by actors (Sibyl Thorndike), by directors (Granville Barker) and by fellow playwrights (George Bernard Shaw). His was the voice which had something wonderful to communicate and which could not be ignored.
In this prize-winning biography, Richard Mabey brilliantly recreated the life of the pioneering naturalist and wonderfully evoked White's Hampshire landscape.
Revd. Gilbert White published his revolutionary Natural History of Selborne in 1789, an entirely new insight into the natural world. John Knapp was the first to follow White's successful format, publishing his Journal of a Naturalist anonymously in 1829. Knapp's work was an instant success and ran into four editions in Britain. It was twice pirated in America. Knapp's Journal, based on his observations in Alveston in southern Gloucestershire, his childhood home in Buckinghamshire and a brief sojourn in Monmouthshire, reignited early 19th-century popular enthusiasm for nature. His death in 1845 however prevented publication of a greatly enlarged fifth edition of his work. For this biography, Knapp's remarkable life has not only been researched in depth and described for the first time, but by using Knapp's original hand-written notes, the author has been able to re-create the previously unpublished fifth edition of the Journal and present it here in full.

The much-anticipated sequel to Bacon in Moscow, Gilbert & George and the Communists charts daring art dealer James Birch's next implausible transcultural mission: introducing British art's most subversive duo to not only the creaking remnants of Soviet Russia, but to the steely frontier of a Maoist China well on its way to becoming a global superpower.Gilbert & George and the Communists is more than just a picaresque and deeply funny riot through art history: it is a first-hand account of how, just as one global giant died, another was born.

Since 1967, renowned artists Gilbert & George (born 1943 and 1942) have made themselves into their art, sacrificing their individual identities to devote themselves to a more democratic art practice, which they call “Art for All.” This catalog presents their formative early work, The General Jungle or Carrying on Sculpting (1971). Comprised of 23 monumental, multi-panel charcoal-on-paper sculptures depicting the artists wandering streets and parks in London and inscribed with philosophical slogans, The General Jungle or Carrying on Sculpting was first exhibited at the Sonnabend Gallery in New York in 1971. Published in conjunction with Lévy Gorvy’s exhibition of the work, this fully illustrated catalog features a newly commissioned essay by Michael Bracewell based on a recent interview with the artists, an original poem by Kostas Anagnopoulos, newspaper reviews from the Sonnabend exhibition and a facsimile of the postal sculpture A Day in the Life of George & Gilbert, the Sculptors (1971).
