The Britart mavericks have now teamed up with an unlikely artist. Is their odd throuple an elaborate prank \u2013 or are the duo passing down their legacy?<\/p>\n
\u2018Hello girls,\u201d greets 82-year-old Gilbert Prousch, one half of art duo Gilbert & George, as he shakes my hand when I arrive at his house with a very important guest in tow. He kisses his other guest on the cheek. Gilbert is<\/em> Italian after all.<\/p>\n \u201cThis way,\u201d he says, ushering us into the four-storey, 18th-century Georgian townhouse in Fournier Street, Spitalfields, east London, where he and the other half of his duo, George Passmore, 84, have lived since the late 1960s. Back then, they rented the ground floor for \u00a316 a month. Now, they own the whole house. I bet it costs a bit more now.<\/p>\n
