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.
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.
★ ‘A winning combination of recent-ish global history, alcohol fuelled bad behaviour and the struggle to bring art to the masses. Very good and very funny.’ ★ – Jarvis Cocker
