About the Item

Pierre et Gilles: The Complete Works, 1997. French/English/German Edition by Bernard Marcade (Author), Pierre Commoy (Photographer), and Gilles Blanchard (Painter). An unbridled celebration of a life beyond guilt and expiation. Welcome to the seductive pictures of Pierre et Gilles. Again and again they show people in kitschy scenarios against a background of flowers and hearts. When they are not snapping portraits of the well-known - most of whom are close friends like Marc Almond or Nina Hagen - and not-so-known, they photograph themselves. Bizarre, and full of obscure significance, the photographs are reminiscent of stills from film melodramas. They are always colorful and presented with beguiling polish. Now the latest and most comprehensive collection of the works of these two photographers can be presented to the public - in a format designed by the artists themselves. In matt skin-colour, with a golden edging and an embossed cover. This saccharine collection of kitsch encompasses all aspects of homosexuality and offers them in an appetising form even to those who hate them. A straight challenge is issued to all readers to participate - at least with their eyes - in this unbridled celebration of a life beyond guilt and expiation. NPT Books a division of N.P. Trent Antiques has a large collection of used and out of print books on art, architecture, decoration and antiques with a focus on 1st editions, signed and limited editions. We offer free shipping to any domestic address.
