Thanks Rick. They are a magnificent couple of artists whose lives are one of their ongoing works. They are a bit like Magritte in that they present an image of studied conventionality while being utterly and completely unconventional, and producing rather shocking work. They are one of a very small group of people who rescued that wonderful part of London from development.

Here is one of their unpleasant pictures: http://www.arengario.it/sync/2014/11/gilbert-george-1994-naked-shit-pictures-invito.jpg B On 10 Sep 2017, at 20:17, Rick Womer <rickpic...@gmail.com<mailto:rickpic...@gmail.com>> wrote: Bob, 72, 76, and “Gilbert or George” are my favorites in this set.
