If you're an Iggy Pop fan, you've probably seen him naked before—Pop made his reputation in the '60s and '70s with his clothing-optional, peanut butter-friendly onstage antics. He even appeared fully in the nude on the cover of an art magazine in But even if you knew every sinewy line on his leathery, defined body, it'd still be pretty shocking to see the larger-than-life figure stark naked right in front of you—which is what happened to a group of artists at the New York Academy of Art earlier this year. On February 21st, 22 artists with various backgrounds were invited to a life drawing class led by professor Michael Grimaldi; the model that day turned out to be Iggy.
And, back in , a group of New York Academy of Art students had a once-in-a-lifetime chance to document it in all its glory. Ranging from 5-minute sketches to in-depth studies, the drawings reveal Iggy striking a number of different poses, interpreted in a range of styles. The book also features some candid snaps of the class alongside the works, plus an introduction by Deller, and an interview with Pop about working on the project. Check out a selection of the works below via Stereogum.
In fact, for nearly half a century now, Iggy has presented his naked torso as a central part of his art, displaying it in a way that is so disruptive and unfettered, it suggests a sound wave made flesh. For his latest project, Deller decided to highlight all this history in a new setting: a life-drawing class. I thought his body deserves to be looked at differently, to be taken more seriously, in a way that would connect him to art history.
