Heavy Petting

1981

This signed postcard collage exemplifies Gilbert & George's early exploration of found imagery and assemblage techniques, predating their signature large-scale photographic works. The provocative title reflects the duo's characteristic blend of humor and social commentary, while the intimate scale and mixed-media approach demonstrates their experimental period of the early 1980s.
