Gilbert & George — Man (A Post-Card Sculpture)

Man (A Post-Card Sculpture)

Two figures dressed in matching suits stand formally against a plain background in this postcard collage mounted on mat board. Gilbert & George transform the humble postcard into a sculptural medium, blurring the boundaries between fine art and everyday ephemera. The work exemplifies their signature practice of presenting themselves as living art objects, merging their identities as artists with the artwork itself.
