Gilbert & George and the Communists

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.
