This fascinating book on contemporary art explores a recent trend--collaborative duos. The artistic pair of Gilbert and George is only one example of a remarkable phenomenon that has taken place over the past two decades. All over the world artists are forming partnerships to further their creative and cultural missions. Featuring a dynamic design with numerous color illustrations, this book examines a dozen such ¡§double acts¡¨ from the fields of photography, video, painting, sculpture, and performance art.
