Paperback. Condition: New. A new edition of Sue Tilley's classic biography of the man described by Boy George as 'modern art on legs', updated to include never-before-seen photographs and a new chapter reflecting on Bowery's legacy. From his arrival in London in 1980, clutching a suitcase and sewing machine, to his death from AIDS in 1994, artist, performer, musician, club promoter and fashion designer Leigh Bowery led an extraordinary life. Chronicled here with candid wit and affection, Leigh's closest confidante Sue Tilley describes her best friend's journey as a creative young gay kid growing up in the Melbourne suburbs who burst onto the vibrant London club scene of the 1980s and changed it forever. Brilliantly evoking the hedonistic energy of the city, Tilley's personal account of her life with Leigh - their best mates, holidays, clubbing, drugs, outfits, flatmates and sex lives - paints a vivid picture of 80s pop culture through their friendship and love of a good time. She also offers irreverent anecdotes of the London art world, and particularly of Leigh's close relationship with Lucian Freud, who painted Leigh many times from 1990 onwards; and concludes with a poignant and unsentimental recollection of Leigh's final days in hospital. Written with the full co-operation of his family and friends, including Charles Atlas, Rachel Auburn, Michael Clark, Lucian Freud, Jeffrey Hinton, Damien Hirst, Princess Julia, Cerith Wyn Evans and Baillie Walsh.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Described by Boy George as 'art on legs' and painted multiple times by Lucien Freud, Bowery embraced performance, club culture and fashion design to create some of the most iconic looks and moments of the 80s and 90s. His influence is immeasurable and can be seen in the works of prominent artists and designers such as Lady Gaga, Alexander McQueen, Jeffrey Gibson, Anohni, Rick Owens, Gareth Pugh and Maison Margiela, as well as being celebrated on shows like Ru Paul's Drag Race for bold and unapologetic self-expression.This paper doll book features a press-out mannequin and ten of Leigh's show-stopping ensembles, from his 'Aunt Jemima' green checkered two-piece and crash helmet, to the shiny PVC 'Black Fetish' suit.Beautifully illustrated by Daniel Clarke and accompanied by words from his widow and artistic partner, Nicola Rainbird, who offers personal insight into each look, this book is an officially endorsed title from the Estate of Leigh Bowery that celebrates the artist's wild, maximalist, and unforgettable contributions to the fashion world and beyond. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Clarke, Daniel (illustrator).…
