# Gilbert & George: The General Jungle or Carrying on Sculpting: Late Summer 1971 - Hardcover

by **Gilbert &. George** (Artist), **Michael Bracewell** (Introduction by), **Kostas Anagnopoulos** (Contribution by)

Since 1967, renowned artists Gilbert & George (born 1943 and 1942) have made themselves into their art, sacrificing their individual identities to devote themselves to a more democratic art practice, which they call "Art for All." This catalog presents their formative early work, _The General Jungle or Carrying on Sculpting_ (1971). Comprised of 23 monumental, multi-panel charcoal-on-paper sculptures depicting the artists wandering streets and parks in London and inscribed with philosophical slogans, _The General Jungle or Carrying on Sculpting_ was first exhibited at the Sonnabend Gallery in New York in 1971. Published in conjunction with L vy Gorvy's exhibition of the work, this fully illustrated catalog features a newly commissioned essay by Michael Bracewell based on a recent interview with the artists, an original poem by Kostas Anagnopoulos, newspaper reviews from the Sonnabend exhibition and a facsimile of the postal sculpture _A Day in the Life of George & Gilbert, the Sculptors_ (1971).
