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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ICA Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58035118342528,"sku":null,"price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0012\/4390\/6109\/files\/81k2KVOzX1L._SY522.jpg?v=1777986599","url":"https:\/\/shop.ica.art\/products\/franco-bifo-berardi-precarious-rhapsody-copy","provider":"ICA Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
