Leigh!

Notes

To accompany an exhibition of Leigh Bowery’s costumes in Vienna called Xstravaganza: Staging Leigh Bowery, Donald Urquhart has created what he calls a Leigh-zine. Donald Urquhart, who lives and works in Paris, was a close friend of Leigh Bowery’s. The artist’s book comprises reminiscences of Leigh Bowery and numerous descriptions of his costumes.
