Some might say that George Passmore and Gilbert Proesch have slumped since their heyday in the 1980s. They have never been short of opportunities to exhibit, but critics have lost enthusiasm for their vivid photographic tableaux. Nevertheless, last year they represented Britain at the Venice Biennale, and followed that this year with a show of their new SONOFAGOD PICTURES at White Cube. Currently they have a show at the Kunsthalle in Tübingen and February next year could herald the arrival of a veritable Neo-Georgian era: the pair are to be the first living artists to be given the entirety of Tate Modern’s fourth-floor space for a thorough survey reaching right back to 1971. They will publish a two-volume catalogue raisonné, containing every picture they have created over that period spread over 1,200 pages, and then the show will tour to Munich, Turin, San Francisco and Milwaukee, concluding in Brooklyn in 2009.
