Gilbert & George retrospective tours to Milwaukee Art Museum

14 Jun 2008

Gilbert & George's major retrospective visits the penultimate venue of its grand tour. Boasting the largest and most comprehensive retrospective to date, this survey presents over 100 works related to the debut and development of Gilbert & George. Confronting the punk anger and racial tensions of the 1970s to consumer capitalism of the 1980s to the terrorism fears of today, the artists' brightly coloured photomontages function as raw examinations of fundamental human issues and experiences. The exhibition, originally curated by Jan Debbaut and Ben Borthwick for Tate Modern, and coordinated at the Milwaukee Art Museum by Chief Curator Joe Ketner will subsequently tour to its final destination, Brooklyn Museum of Art in New York.
