Gilbert And George Quit Royal Academy After Exhibition Snub

VISUAL Posted: July 12, 2020 1:00 pm

The artistic duo, who were admitted to the Royal Academy in 2017 as an entity with a single vote, believed they’d be getting a show at the RA soon. When that was denied, they resigned. “An anonymous academician said the situation was unfortunate, and Gilbert and George ‘should not have just assumed they would be given a show.’ But an admirer of their work, aware of the brewing dispute, felt blame lay with the RA, and the question of giving them a show had been badly mishandled.” – The Observer (UK)
