Like their art, Gilbert \u0026amp; George’s writing is irreverent, rebellious, fantastical, often funny and deeply poetic. The book includes a letter to their readers and original photographs by the artists of themselves, their famous home in Spitalfields in East London and their pictures. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eDark Shadow\u003c\/i\u003e is structured into eight chapters, which elaborate on the inspirations behind Gilbert \u0026amp; George's work such as London life and British culture, including, of course, Gordon’s Gin. As is emblazoned on the cover, \u003ci\u003eDark Shadow\u003c\/i\u003e is a continuation of their lifelong agenda ‘Art for All’, and each book is a piece of art in itself, uniquely bound in the UK with hand-marbled cloth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57051576238454,"sku":"9780903696630","price":177.58,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_26976551.jpg?v=1768297186","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9780903696630-gilbert-george-dark-shadow","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
