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\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1853323837\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781853323836\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hayward Gallery Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/24\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.60h x 11.80w x 0.80d","brand":"Ralph Rugoff","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48137251946751,"sku":"9781853323836","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9ef90092-8396-429b-9236-1c0b87076a42.jpg?v=1770167588","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/gilbert-george-ralph-rugoff-9781853323836","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
