The Legend of Leigh Bowery is an in-depth and revealing tribute to an outrageous and outlandish artist. Whether he was making headdresses out of toilet seats, or giving birth to a full-grown woman in a nightclub, Bowry defined London’s culture of outrage and influenced a generation of artists and designers on both sides of the Atlantic.
