1. Auflage. 22 x 23 cm. 60 S. Illustrierter OPappband. Neubuch (originalverschweißt). Durchgehend mit meist farbigen Abbildungen versehen. Katalogbuch zur gleichnamigen Ausstellung im NRW-Forum Kultur und Wirtschaft, Düsseldorf, vom 13.01. bis zum 12.03.2006. Leigh Bowery (* 26. März 1961 in Sunshine bei Melbourne, Australien; 31. Dezember 1994 oder 1. Januar 1995 in London) war ein australischer Performancekünstler, Modedesigner, Nachtclubbetreiber und Model. Bowery zählte in den 1980er und 1990er Jahren zu den inspirierendsten Personen der Londoner und New Yorker Modewelt und Nachtclubszene. Seine extravaganten und skurrilen Kostümierungen, "Looks" genannt, beeinflussten zahlreiche spätere Designer, Künstler und Musiker. Bowerys Wirkung auf Performancekunst und Popkultur reicht bis in die Gegenwart. Fergus Greer ist ein britischer Fotograf, der die Performancekunst Bowerys mit der Kamera begleitete. Er studierte an der St. Martin's School of Art in London und begann seine fotografische Karriere als Assistent von Fotografen wie Richard Avedon und später als Studioleiter von Terence Donovan. Als freiberuflicher Fotograf arbeitete er für verschiedene Zeitschriften und fotografierte regelmäßig Cover für das Sunday Times Magazine. 1997 zog er nach Los Angeles und arbeitete zehn Jahre lang für führende Magazine, bevor er nach London zurückkehrte und in Chelsea ein Studio gründete. Als offizieller Kriegskünstler dokumentierte er den Krieg im Kosovo und veröffentlichte 2001 ein Buch. Im Zentrum der Arbeit mit dem australischen Performancekünstler Leigh Bowery stand das Buch " Leigh Bowery Looks: Photographs 1988-1994" aus dem Jahre 2001. Sprache: Deutsch und Englisch.…

Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: As New. 1st Edition. This book is the definitive and indispensable guide to the unique looks designed and, in these photographs, worn by Leigh Bowery. One of Britain's most heroically ambitious yet underappreciated designers and performance artists, Bowery remains an inspiration to many contemporary fashion designers, though few are willing to admit it. In Leigh Bowery Looks you can see why: it contains more than 300 previously unpublished photographs of Bowery, an extraordinary body of work that was the outcome of his collaboration with British photographer Fergus Greer between 1988 and 1994, the year of Bowery's death. Leigh Bowery was a performance artist, fashion designer, night-club sensation, art object, aspiring pop-star and, above all, an icon whose influence traversed the music, art, film and fashion worlds. Perhaps he is best-known for his role as the muse and nude model for some of Lucian Freud's most famous paintings; ironic for the man who was infamous for his costumes. Bowery arrived in London in 1980 from Sunshine, Australia, collaborated notoriously with the dancer Michael Clark, was proprietor of the infamous 1980s nightclub Taboo. In the 1990s, Leigh Bowery created performances which both delighted and outraged audiences in New York, London and Tokyo, later incorporating his pop group Minty. A shimmering if tiny tome as homage to the muse of Lucien Freud. Above all the photographs elevate the camp and kitsch beyond Divine and new wave shock into a vision of how modern celebrities would be defined. Topping out bad taste is suddenly quite an incisive view of the future. Really great images especially the monochrome plates.…
