Characterized 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. With bespoke cover artwork designed by Gilbert \u0026amp; George themselves, \u003ci\u003e21st Century Pictures\u003c\/i\u003e features selections from key series made since 2000. Lavishly produced, with red sprayed edges, it also includes an introduction by Rachel Thomas, an in-depth essay by Michael Bracewell and a new interview with the artists by Hans Ulrich Obrist. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Hayward Gallery Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52078244823314,"sku":"9781853323836","price":43.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_33250ad5-ebe4-47af-b1e7-c0b2f8fb89d3.jpg?v=1772538171","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/gilbert-george-21st-century-pictures-9781853323836","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
