The notoriously controversial statements, writings, manifesto art works and interviews of Gilbert & George, ranging in date from 1968 to 1997, have been collected here for the first time.

This unique anthology includes previously unpublished texts, passages from the rare editions Side by Side (1971) and Dark Shadow (1974), as well as conversations with Gordon Burn, Shere Hite, Wolf Jahn, Dave Stewart and many others.

More than twenty-five years of portraits of the artists by such photographers as Cecil Beaton, David Bailey and Wolfgang Tillmans accompany the texts. This is a delightful compendium, revealing these artists' prodigious talent for creating paradoxes which, surprisingly, bring hope and passion to our century's neon rush.
