Pierre et Gilles, Sailors & Sea

Selections of Pierre et Gilles's best marine-themed work


As sweet as raspberry ripple, as tempting as popcorn: welcome to the seductive photographs of Pierre et Gilles, the masters of glam, kitsch, nostalgia, and everything fabulous. Bizarre and full of obscure significance, glitter, flowers, and hearts, the portraits are reminiscent of stills from film melodramas.

This saccharine collection of kitsch encompasses selections of Pierre et Gilles's most delectable works on the recurring theme of sailors and the sea.

"Pierre and Gilles are our dmirable French gay partners, privately and professionally. Pierre takes photos and Gilles paints on it, thus their pop, kitsch and sexy artworks are made. Since they first met in Paris 29 years ago, they have been seeking their ideal beautiful objects of works, and found sailors, life-savers, beach boys and themselves surrounded by flowers and glitters. This small book Pierre et Gilles, Sailors and Sea shows their best work. Good selection, handy and suitable for the gift"
