Gilbert & George link with BBC and Guardian for art download

Gilbert & George are offering art lovers the opportunity to download a new creation in a tie-up with the BBCs <i>Imagine</i> programme and <i>The Guardian</i> newspaper.

Their Planed piece, which can be downloaded as nine separate images, features distorted images of the iconic duo against plane trees and can be downloaded for free for 48 hours following the transmission of Tuesday’s show at 11.25pm.

The work can be reprinted any number of times and at any dimension, making it the first real manifestation of the pair’s ‘art for all’ motto.

Imagine presenter Alan Yentob told The Guardian: “When I put the idea to them, they were immediately enthusiastic.”
