NEW ARRIVAL: FINDING GOD (1982) JIGSAW PUZZLE

October 5

By popular demand, we are pleased to announce the release of the Centre’s first jigsaw puzzle.

Available exclusively from the Centre, and in limited quantity, the puzzle depicts Gilbert & George’s ‘FINDING GOD’ picture from their ‘1982 PICTURES’ group.

During the 1980s, Gilbert & George saturated their pictures with colour. In their own words, “How we actually coloured a picture was something we had to find out. At first, we only knew how to colour an individual panel. We only knew how to colour this one red, and this one, and leave these two not coloured. Then we started to discover with certain colours that we could colour black line, and the division between coloured and not coloured would be lost in the middle of the black line”.

The 1000-piece puzzle is available to purchase now exclusively from The Gilbert & George Centre and via our online shop. Shop here.

£25 each
