British artists Gilbert & George met in 1967 while studying at St. Martin’s School of Art. While their work is rooted in sculpture and performance, it has evolved over the years to include photography, drawing, painting, and film.

Supreme’s love of Pop Art is well noted and Gilbert & George’s work has earned consistent comparisons with Andy Warhol. And while there are clear visual consistencies between Warhol’s Polaroid series and The 1984 pictures it’s a charge the duo reject, dismissing the American artist as a commercialist.
