Description
Leigh Bowery: A Visual Inventory of Performance and Transformation This monograph presents a comprehensive overview of the boundary-pushing career of artist, performer, model, TV personality, club promoter, fashion designer and musician, Leigh Bowery. Spanning an eclectic and dynamic career, the book features over two hundred images by and of the artist, including fashion photography, club polaroids, film stills, paintings, postcards, and ephemera. In addition to Bowery's own works, the publication includes paintings of the artist by Lucian Freud, and works made with and about Bowery by Stephen Willats and Trojan Barnes, among others. A visual inventory of all of Bowery's costumes, held by the artist's estate, has been newly photographed and published for the first time. Published to accompany a major exhibition at Tate Modern in 2025, Leigh Bowery offers a unique insight into the creative process and artistic vision of this influential figure.
