The new ‘Leigh Bowery!’ Exhibition At Tate Modern celebrates the provocative and boundary-pushing career of one of the most fearless and original artists of the 20th century. In his short but extraordinary life, Leigh Bowery (1961-1994) forged a truly unique path.
For the first time Tate Modern will bring together Bowery’s outlandish and dazzling costumes alongside painting, photography and videos to explore how he changed art, fashion and popular culture forever. Charting the journey of a young boy from Australia, who became a globally recognised cultural figure.
During the Press View of ‘Leigh Bowery!’ Exhibition On Tuesday 26 February 2025 RNIB Connect Radio’s Toby Davey caught up with Jess Baxter, Assistant Curator of the exhibition, for a bit of background to the life of Leigh Bowery, his work during the 80s and up to his death in 1994 along with the impact his work has had on art, culture and much more.
