Opis

The hilarious account of one man's quest to mount a Francis Bacon exhibition in the Soviet Union.

Recenzje

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. James Birch pulls off an artistic coup necessitating endless champagne nights in Soho with Francis Bacon and marathon Moscow vodka sessions with the mysterious Sergei Klokov. Fascinating and true. What a liver!' Grayson Perry
