Product description
đ„ Gilbert & George â Naked â 2023 â Original Poster for The Gilbert & George Centre, London
Openingâera house poster in the duoâs confrontational grid vernacular | Hand signed by the artists |
| Offset lithograph | 84.1 Ă 59.4 cm | United Kingdom
đŹ Introduction
An austere black grid bisects a skyâblue field, bracketed by blazing red header and footerâa visual language Gilbert & George have honed since the 1970s to fuse stainedâglass solemnity with billboard punch. Within the lattice, a totemic organic column anchors mirrored male nudes in white briefs; two monumental cropped heads thrust scarlet tongues toward the centerline. The singleâword title NAKED, set in hard green caps, reads as both label and provocation, while the East End venue credit asserts the duoâs rootedness in Londonâs streets.
Issued around the launch of The Gilbert & George Centre in Spitalfields, this A1 house poster distills the artistsâ serial symmetry, photographic montage, and deadpan text into a publicâfacing identity piece. This example is handâsigned in bold white at lower right, a striking gesture against the saturated palette that elevates it from ephemera to collectible print.
âš Why It Matters
As an early, Centreâera graphic, Naked captures a pivot where studio âPicturesâ meet institutional brandingâan artifact of the artistsâ long project to collapse art and life, gallery and pavement. Handâsigned copies are scarcer than shop or window pulls and are sought by collectors across contemporary British art, conceptual photography, and postâpunk graphic design. The posterâs modular grid, mirrored poses, and slogan economy connect it to the broader lineage of British conceptualism and massâmedia appropriation, while its pristine survival counters the intended shortâterm use of A1 street postersâmaking it both launch document and canonical image.
