Book description
The much-anticipated sequel to Bacon in Moscow, Gilbert & George and the Communists charts daring art dealer James Birch's next implausible transcultural mission: introducing British art's most subversive duo to not only the creaking remnants of Soviet Russia, but to the steely frontier of a Maoist China well on its way to becoming a global superpower. Gilbert & George and the Communists is more than just a picaresque and deeply funny riot through art history: it is a first-hand account of how, just as one global giant died, another was born.Praise for Bacon in Moscow'This really is a peculiarly evocative & authentic title... [Birch's] anecdotes shine' - The Observer'There's a mini series itching to get out of this book... It has all the right ingredients' - The Times'A 'forthright and enjoyably strung-out anecdote about the gallerist's hidden plight... An enjoyable portrait of two insular, rather dysfunctional societies' - The Spectator'This is a curator's memoir more thrilling than most' - Apollo Magazine
