Dark Shadow

description

One of the most important artists' books of the era. Each copy has unique marbleized cloth-covered boards individually produced by Gilbert & George. Contains eight short stories by the artist–who recognize themselves as two individuals yet one artist—Chapter One, "Gordons Gin"; Chapter Two, "Dark Shadow"; Chapter Three, "Broken Hearts"; Chapter Four, "Bloody Life"; Chapter Five, "Balls Bar"; Chapter Six, "Bad Thoughts"; Chapter Seven, "Inca Pisco"; Chapter Eight, "Human Bondage." Each story illustrated with black-and-white images of Gilbert & George in situ.
