Synopsis

The author of the celebrated Bacon in Moscow delivers another fascinating and unexpected romp through cultural history, this time exploring the reception of British art's most subversive duo on the other side of the Iron Curtain, moving from Soviet Russia to Maoist China.

Signed Edition signed by Gilbert & George - a Standard Edition is also available

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.
