Occasionally moderately interesting, nothing new about Bacon. The book is in fact mostly about James Birch, who does not merit one one. Laborious prose. The colour reproductions of the paintings exhibited in Moscow are some of the poorest I have seen in a book about Art. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
This funny and personal memoir is the account of an audacious attempt by James Birch, a young British curator, to mount the ground-breaking retrospective of Francis Bacon's work at the newly refurbished Central House of Artists, Moscow in 1988. Side-lined by the British establishment, Birch found himself at the heart of a honey-trap and the focus for a picaresque cast of Soviet officials, attaches and politicians under the forbidding eye of the KGB as he attempted to bring an unseen western cultural icon to Russia during the time of 'Glasnost', just before the fall of the Berlin Wall. Bacon in Moscow is the story of the evolution of an exhibition that was at the artistic and political heart of a sea of change that culminated with the fall of the USSR.
