Gilbert & George: 21ST CENTURY PICTURES Major exhibition at Hayward Gallery in London
7 October 2025—4 January 2026
Hayward Gallery, Southbank Centre, London
This exhibition showcases Gilbert & George’s artistic journey, highlighting new pictures created since the start of the millennium.
With bold, single-word titles, each piece delves into societal norms and taboos, spanning the mundane and the illicit. Their art challenges boundaries of taste and propriety.
21ST CENTURY PICTURES features key series including NEW HORNY PICTURES (2001), THE LONDON PICTURES (2011), THE BEARD PICTURES (2016), and THE CORPSING PICTURES (2022), exploring themes of hope, fear, sex, religion, corruption and death.
