Lee Alexander McQueen: Mind, Mythos, Muse

The exhibition catalogue documents Alexander McQueen’s diverse sources of inspiration by displaying his imaginative fashions alongside related artworks from LACMA’s permanent collection, ranging from ancient Greece and Rome to Tibetan silk brocade patterns, 17th-century Dutch painting, the prints of Goya and the films of Stanley Kubrick. Spanning art from a multitude of mediums, eras and cultures, this publication provides a new and innovative assessment of McQueen’s work and highlights how his singular approach produced exquisitely constructed, thought-provoking, often subversive or allegorical fashion.
