Characterized by concise, often single-word titles emblazoned in bold capital letters, each picture becomes a stage for the exploration of societal norms and cultural taboos. With bespoke cover artwork designed by Gilbert \u0026amp; George themselves, \u003ci\u003e21st Century Pictures\u003c\/i\u003e features selections from key series made since 2000. Lavishly produced, with red sprayed edges, it also includes an introduction by Rachel Thomas, an in-depth essay by Michael Bracewell and a new interview with the artists by Hans Ulrich Obrist. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ralph Rugoff\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hayward Gallery Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/10\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.8lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.60h x 11.80w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781853323836","brand":"Hayward Gallery Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45462952181897,"sku":"9781853323836","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_9bc43b11-d803-4b84-b612-fb67e3ce6ed7.jpg?v=1774994000","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/gilbert-george-21st-century-pictures-9781853323836","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
