Artists in conversation
Cindy Sherman
American · b. 1954
Sherman similarly uses photography and mixed media in conceptual multi-part works that center the self as subject matter, creating provocative series that challenge identity and representation in ways closely aligned with Gilbert and George's 1973 approach.
Peter Blake
British · b. 1932
Blake's framed mixed media assemblages from the same era share the British conceptual sensibility and multi-component presentation style that Gilbert and George employed, combining found and constructed elements within deliberate framing choices.
Bruce Nauman
American · b. 1941
Nauman's conceptual multi-part works from the early 1970s similarly use fragmented presentation formats and provocative framing to challenge viewer perception, making his practice one of the closest parallels to this specific piece's structure and intent.
