Behind the Book: James Birch - Bacon in Moscow

BACON IN MOSCOW is the account of curator James Birch's audacious quest to mount the ground-breaking Francis Bacon exhibition in Moscow in 1988, when he found himself not only the subject of a honey-trap, but also the focus of the KGB and a picaresque and shady cast of officials, attachés and politicians.
