Charles Atlas presents The Legend of Leigh Bowery & Teach
GETTY CENTER
Harold M. Williams Auditorium
Renowned video artist Charles Atlas introduces his films The Legend of Leigh Bowery and Teach, both of which feature Leigh Bowery, the Australian performance artist, avant-garde fashion designer, and icon of the 1980s London club scene. Bowery's striking physical presence was captured by Lucian Freud in a series of unforgettable paintings, two of which are featured in the exhibition London Calling: Francis Bacon, Lucian Freud, Leon Kossoff, Michael Andrews, Frank Auerbach, and R.B. Kitaj.
