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.

James Birch has been a promoter of modern art for over thirty years and boasts a resume of exhibitions both throughout the UK and internationally.

Praise for Bacon in Moscow 'A rollicking cultural adventure before the fall of the Berlin Wall and the meteoric rise of contemporary art in the nineties ... Fascinating and true.' Grayson Perry 'Conjured up and delivered with first hand insight and humour, navigating Russian mores and the British art world.' Richard E. Grant 'Darkly funny account of art behind the iron curtain. Evocative and authentic.' Observer'Full of eccentric characters and comic incident.' The Times'Birch is one of those rare wunderkinds of the art world.' The Lady '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
