拍品专文

"We want our art to speak across the barriers of knowledge directly to People about their Life and not about their knowledge of art...our Art is the friendship formed between the viewer and our pictures...The true function of Art is to bring about new understanding, progress and advancement...We invented and we are constantly inventing our own visual language...The content of mankind is our subject and inspiration!" (Gilbert & George quoted in Gilbert & George-The Complete Pictures 1971-1985, Stuttgart 1986, p. 7.)
