Picking up where the acclaimed Bacon in Moscow left off, Gilbert & George and the Communists sees daring art dealer James Birch take the most iconic duo in British art through the dying embers of the Soviet Union, and into a China reinventing itself post- Tiananmen Square as a global superpower.

Signed hardback edition.

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
