if you do not know the works by these two collaborators who are among the top artists representing french culture today, then you should get on it. i'll give you a summary of the intro by Jeff Koons from their retrospective Kaleidescope. Pierre et gilles have influenced contemporary culture from advertising, fashion photography, music video, film etc.
they celebrate and critique pop culture without placing judgement on cultural history. breaking down hierarchies in art by removing guilt and anxiety. the workls are brilliant and the way they seek beauty in everything is whimsical and endearing.
