ROBYN BEECHE
In the 1980’s, Australian-born photographer Robyn Beeche captured the energetic gender-bending era of identity exploration in London. She created many iconic images – from Visage’s Fade to Grey album cover, to the ‘puritan’ image which inspired David Bowie’s Ashes to Ashes film clip. She was celebrated for her ground-breaking, pre-Photoshop photographs of painted bodies through collaborations with counter-culture personalities Zandra Rhodes, Vivienne Westwood, Leigh Bowery and Divine.
RIP ROBYN BEECHE 14 February 1945 – 13 August 2015
