Leigh Bowery

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 1981 – clutching a suitcase and sewing machine – to his death from AIDS on New Year’s Eve, 1994, Leigh Bowery led an extraordinary life, chronicled here by his closest friend and confidante, Sue Tilley, with the full co-operation of his family and friends, including Michael Clark, Anthony d’Offay, Lucian Freud, Cerith Wyn Evans and Damien Hirst.
