The first gallerist to show works by Grayson Perry and the neo-naturists, James was also a close friend of Francis Bacon, Gilbert \u0026amp; George, Denis Wirth Miller and Genesis POrridge. Written with the journalist Michael Hodges whose work has appeared in the Sunday Times, the Financial Times, the New Statesman and Esquire Gilbert \u0026amp; George and the Communists is more than just a picaresque and deeply funny riot through art history: it is an account of a world unthinkably different to and ever present in our own today.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57492410073461,"sku":"9781917283175","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781917283175.jpg?v=1786529250","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/gilbert-george-and-the-communists","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
