PIERRE ET GILLES

Collector's book Pierre et Gilles, 355 pages, 2,2kg. The highly stylized portraits of the French photographers Pierre and Gilles are in the great tradition of glamour photography. The subjects are idealized in the middle of complex fantastic settings in highly retouched photographs. As this book clearly shows, the artists found their style with their first images from the late 1970s. Pierre and Gilles set a new standard in their combination of photography and painting. Highly recommended for all collections of contemporary photography and pop culture.
