These two ultra-modern artists work together as a duo. Gilbert Proesch (b. 1943) and George Passmore (b.1942) are seen in much of their art, deceptively appearing quite formal. They occupy so unique a position among contemporary artists that they have become a strong influence on the YBA [Young British Artists]. They are best known for their large scale pictures, the earliest comprised of cheap banal postcards, as is “Cathedral World-1986”. Later works are highly colored, sometimes backlit and overlaid with black grids where Gilbert and George themselves are frequently features in these works, along with flowers and youths, their friends, and echoes of Christian symbolism.Gilbert and George have won the most prestigious and coveted awards including the Turner Prize in 1986, South Bank Award 2007, Lorenzo il Magnifico Award(Florence) 2007, Special International Award(LA) 1989, Regione lazio Award(Torino) 1981. and represented the UK at the 2005 Venice Biennale. Works by the artists are in all your major international museums including including: The Fine Arts Museum of San Francisco; Art Institute of Chicago; The National Gallery of Art, Washington DC; Minneapolis Institute of Arts; The Tate Museum, London; The Centre Georg Pompidou, Paris; National Gallery of Australia.Vered Gallery offers paintings, sculptures, works on paper and photographs by Ansel Adams, Milton Avery, Richard Avedon, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Romare Bearden, Fernando Botero, Cartier-Bresson, Marc Chagall, Alvin Langdon Coburn, Willem de Kooning, Richard Diebenkorn, Thomas Eakins, Childe Hassam, Winslow Homer, Wolf Kahn, Jeff Koons, Fernand Leger, Roy Lichtenstein, Man Ray, Henry Matisse, Thomas Moran, Pablo Picasso, Jackson Pollock, Charles Sheeler, Alfred Stieglitz, Andy Warhol and Carleton Watkins.Condition ReportCathedral, by Gilbert and George is in very fine condition.
