Leigh Ledare’s astonishing first book is a searingly intimate investigation of the artist’s relationship with his mother, a once-promising prodigy ballerina.
Mapping his mother’s efforts to turn herself into a viable commodity, to find companionship, attention and a benefactor before her youthful, marketable currencies expire.
Filed in: Art, Exhibitions & Events, Talent, Word on the Street.
Leigh has a show up at Cohan and Leslie with JH Engstrom and Ari Marcopoulos
