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 * Praise for JAMES BIRCH: [Birch has] created some of the 'most imaginative exhibitions of the last twenty years' * F22 Magazine *
