Gilbert & George get their groove on

Anti-elitist they may be, but Gilbert & George have dropped a rather exclusive record: a limited-edition signed vinyl album entitled The Thoughts of Gilbert & George. Released by the Museum of Modern Art and MoMA PS1’s label, MoMA/MoMA PS1 Records, it is a throwback to The Singing Sculpture, first performed in 1969, in which the artists sang along to the 1930s tune Underneath the Arches, with bronze-powdered faces and wearing smart suits. There are just 2,000 copies of the new album, which is priced at $50—a bargain for a new work by the pair. It is now available at the museum and online, but be aware that the MoMA store’s website recommends parental guidance (assuming that today’s youngsters can operate a turntable without adult supervision).
