Andrew Logan (born 1945) is an English
sculptor,
performance artist,
jewellery-maker, portraitist and painter.
He was born at
Witney,
Oxfordshire, in England. He was educated as an architect at the Oxford School of Architecture, graduating in 1970. As the founder of the
Alternative Miss World in 1972 (which he continues to run) he became a key figure in London's cultural and fashion life. He notably influenced film-maker
Derek Jarman, whose early film-making work documented the social scene around Andrew Logan and his studios at
Butler's Wharf, London. His studios were also where
Malcolm McLaren and
Vivienne Westwood staged the notorious "Valentine's Ball" in 1976, at which the
Sex Pistols first came to media attention.
In 1991 a major retrospective of his work was held at the
Museum of Modern Art, Oxford. The purpose-built Andrew Logan Museum of Sculpture, at
Berriew in the
Welsh Marches, now houses much of his sculpture and painting. It is the nation's only museum devoted to a living artist. His work is also in numerous museums and private collections around the world.
Since the early Nineties, Andrew Logan has continued to exhibit his sculptures and jewellery all over the world including
Saint Petersburg in Russia,
Lithuania, India,
Beverly Hills in Los Angeles and Mexico. His work has been shown in and commissioned by international galleries, including the
American Visionary Art Museum in Baltimore, the Flower East Gallery in London, the
Victoria & Albert......
