Sue Tilley was a confidante and collaborator of Leigh Bowery, an avant-garde performance artist, designer, and nightlife icon known for his flamboyant and provocative costumes that challenged traditional notions of art, fashion, and identity.
Leigh introduced her to artist Lucian Freud who had painted Leigh. And it was Freud's iconic painting Benefits Supervisor Sleeping, which immortalised Sue, making headlines in 2008 when it was sold at auction for $33.6 million, setting a record at the time for the most expensive work by a living artist.
This podcast is about Sue's life, her relationship to Leigh Bowery who died 30 years ago on New Year's Eve 1994.
