Art Legends Gilbert & George: No Kitchen, All Art
18 Jun
Summary
- Gilbert & George, renowned artists, famously forgo cooking.
- They developed a bond with street artist Endless over art.
- Their new exhibition immortalizes a homeless man named George.
The enduring art duo Gilbert & George, aged 82 and 84, reside in their London home without a kitchen, prioritizing art over cooking.
Their long-standing friendship with street artist Endless has developed over the past decade after they noticed his work. Endless now visits them weekly, finding inspiration in their artistic dedication.
A new exhibition at the Gilbert & George Centre, a venue opened in 2023, showcases reworked pieces from their 1990s 'Worlds and Windows' exhibition. This show notably features George Crompton, a homeless man and frequent visitor, immortalized in their new artworks.
The duo's 'Art for All' philosophy extends to the center, offering free admission. They are planning for their absence by leaving works to the center, ensuring public access and continuing their artistic mission through inspiration and example.
