Gilbert and George | Death After Life





Gilbert and George
Death After Life
Madrid, Spain: Editions Estampa, 1987
23 x 42 cm (open)
Paper fan in box.
Unlimited edition.




In 2002 some enterprising buyer decided to glaze and frame one of these multiples and offer it at auction at Christies. The estimate was between $1200 and $1800 US. The hammer price was $45. Not inappropriate, given that the edition is unlimited and the item can still be purchased from the publisher for twenty euros, here.
