商品簡介
This decade-by-decade retrospective of Pierre & Gilles's vast oeuvre showcases the genesis and development of their sublime, kitsch, and pointedly confected fusion of photography and painting. On the fortieth anniversary of Pierre Commoy and Gilles Blanchard's romantic union, this volume traces four decades of artistic collaboration between the photographer and painter. Undeniably kitsch and shamelessly sexy, their art―stylized, idealized painted photographs―synthesizes tropes drawn from celebrity and mainstream gay culture with timeless themes of religion, mythology, and beauty. The volume is available in trade, limited, and art editions. The slipcased limited edition of 400 numbered copies is signed by the artists. The slipcased, limited art edition of 40 numbered copies is signed and includes a work created by the artists for this volume."

Photographer Pierre Commoy and painter Gilles Blanchard met in 1976 and produced their first artistic collaboration the following year for the French magazine Facade. Commoy’s photographs of celebrities, retouched by Blanchard’s paintbrush, launched a career spanning four decades. Their work has been exhibited in museums and galleries around the globe and has also appeared on magazine and album covers. The artists received Paris’s Grand Prix de Photographie in 1993 and the Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres medal in 2012. "
