Gilbert & George: Two Artists, One Identity

📅 Saturday, November 14, 2026, at 4:30 PM

📍 Sonnabend Collection Mantova

Join us at the Sonnabend Collection on Saturday, November 14, for a curated guided tour dedicated to Gilbert & George, the London-based duo who redefined the very concept of sculpture.

When Ileana Sonnabend began acquiring their work in the late 1960s, she immediately recognized that the pair were not merely creating images: they were reshaping the parameters of sculpture itself.

Among the masterpieces housed within the Sonnabend Collection in Mantua, we will explore their iconic photomontage grid works—where provocation, religion, sex, and politics are framed like modern stained-glass windows.

The tour offers a historical-critical reading of their unique visual language, unpacking how two men in tailored suits permanently altered the trajectory of contemporary art.

An extraordinary opportunity to encounter two towering figures of contemporary art up close and discover their singular vision of a shared artistic identity.
