- Synopsis
- The definitive biography of one of modern art's most provocative vanguards Leigh Bowery was one of the most controversial and avant-garde performers of his generation. In this fascinating biography, author Sue Tilley, one of Bowery's closest friends, lays bare the extravagant life of the trendsetting entertainer. From Bowery's groundbreaking costumes and performance art, to his notoriety in London's 1980s nightclub culture, to his role as a favored model for painter Lucian Freud, Tilley's engrossing portrait offers insight into the outrageous world of 1980s modern art and the man who came to embody it. This ebook features a new postscript by Sue Tilley and an illustrated biography including rare photos from the author's personal collection.
