Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Over the past six years, artists Gilbert and George have pinched 3,712 lurid headline posters from their local newsagent. The result, London Pictures, is an exhibition that presents a starkly different image of London from the one promoted to visitors for the Olympics.
The exhibition opens in the White Cube's three London galleries today as well as its site in Hong Kong. At 292 pieces, it is the Turner Prize-winning pair's largest ever series. Each work, priced between £50,000 and £250,000, picks a theme from the headlines including "Yobs", "Money" and "Murder".
Gilbert said: "We have created a Dickens-like city of unhappiness and fear. Of threats and suicide. A version that is not just all blue skies."
