It’s shaping up to be a brilliant season for art in London right now. Last week we covered ANDY WARHOL at Tate Modern, and AUBREY BEARDSLEY at Tate Britain, but the real piece de resistance is about to open at the Michael Hoppen Gallery.
To celebrate the extraordinary life of LEIGH BOWERY who passed away 25 years ago, there is a an exhibit of stunning photographs by FERGUS GREER. Bowery was the ultimate performance artist, fashion designer, nightclub sensation, art object, aspiring pop-star and above all an icon whose influence traversed music, art, film and fashion worlds.
Even today particular in East London’s thriving alternative culture you can see how Bowery’s very being has helped shape several generations even ones who are too young to have known him.
Over 15 photographs will be showcased, from an extraordinary body of work which was the outcome of Bowery’s collaboration with Greer, between 1988 and 1994, the year Bowery passed away. All works are for sale
“No amount of film could fully capture the many facets of Leigh’s art”. – Fergus Greer
