The Making of Liverpool: Portraits of a City

This spectacular coffee table book highlights The Singh Twins' creative connection with their home city of Liverpool. Special focus is given to two paintings which the artists were commissioned to create to celebrate Liverpool’s 800th birthday in 2007 and its status as European Capital of Culture in 2008 - as well as an animation which brings to life one of the paintings (Liverpool 800) which was officially unveiled to Prince Charles in 2008.

Including many previously unpublished work, this publication offers a unique artistic vision of a city that has continued to inspire the Singh Twins’ work.
