Gilbert and George

Gilbert and George are now recognized as two of the most important living artists on the international scene. In their sculptures, photography, paintings, and performance pieces, they have proven themselves to be both amusing and subversive social commentators. Immensely popular in their native Britain as well as abroad, their work has been the subject of major exhibitions throughout Europe, Asia, and America--including an upcoming retrospective at London's Tate Gallery. Now Daniel Farson, with the full cooperation of Gilbert and George, has written a candid and intimate biography of the artists; entertaining, anecdotal, and richly informative, it reveals what lies behind the art world's most famously inscrutable double act. Daniel Farson is an art critic, biographer, and best-selling author. His books include Sacred Monsters, Jack the Ripper, The Man Who Wrote Dracula, Never a Normal Man, and The Gilded Gutter Life of Frances Bacon, which Booklist hailed as "a deliciously vibrant portrait."

"His writing maintains an outsider's objectivity, enhanced by an insider's understanding." Observer Daniel Farson had a lifelong yearning to complete his father's 1929 attempt to cross the Klukhor Pass in the Caucasus on horseback. At sixty-four, 'abominably unhealthy', he determined to try. His expedition in 1991 coincided with the coup, and he describes the journey down the Volga aboard the "Pipkin" as the coup broke all around. When he eventually reached the Caucasus, his arduous climb became increasingly fraught as the horses collapsed and the porters deserted him. However, he finally succeeded where his father had failed.

Bram Stoker is the little-known author of one of the most famous books ever written. He has been eclipsed by the creature of his imagination, Count Dracula, the greatest vampire of them all. In his lifetime, too, Stoker was eclipsed - by the dominating personality of Sir Henry Irving, the actor. Stoker became Irving's manager, and served him with total devotion. Daniel Farson has a special interest in Stoker, who was his great-uncle, and he has visited Transylvania to trace the origins of Stoker's strange obsessions.
