Pierre & Gilles. 40

On the fortieth anniversary of Pierre Commoy and Gilles Blanchard’s romantic union, this volume traces four decades of artistic collaboration between the photographer and painter. Undeniably kitsch and shamelessly sexy, their art -stylized, idealized painted photographs- synthesizes tropes drawn from celebrity and mainstream gay culture with timeless themes of religion, mythology, and beauty.

The volume is also available in a limited art edition of 200 copies presented in a luxury clamshell with a signed, original work of art created by the artists expressly for the art edition.
