Haha, imagine old queeny Francis Bacon as a communist! Doesn't quite ring true does it? Well the title of this small exhibition comes from an entry in the visitors' book from a Bacon exhibition in Moscow in 1988, just as Russia was opening up to the outside world.
From this starting point the show looks at the concept of British art abroad, often in unusual or politically tense scenarios. A fascinating little insight.
Until 14.03.10.
