PIERRE et GILLES

PIERRE ET GILLES - Douce violence

This catalogue, today a collector, was created in close collaboration with the artists. Enriched with original drawings by Pierre et Gilles, it is illustrated with more than 40 full-page illustrations of works created in 1997 and 1998, including notably their series in black and white, La Rose et le Couteau (The Rose and the Knife) , which immerses us back into the France of the 1940’s.
You will also find a panorama of works very representative of Pierre & Gilles’ art: self-portraits, celebrities’ portraits, and works on the theme of the sea and of the darkness…
