Iggy Pop Poses Nude for Life Drawing Class, Will Be Subject of Brooklyn Museum Show

Phot by Elena Olivo/Brooklyn Museum

On February 21, Iggy Pop served as the nude model in a life drawing class at the New York Academy of Art. The session was organized by the Brooklyn Museum and conceived by British artist Jeremy Deller. The resulting drawings, created by 21 artists ranging in age from 19 to 80, will be showcased in a Fall 2016 Brooklyn Museum exhibition titled "Iggy Pop Life Class," which will then go on tour.

Deller said of the project, "The life class is a special place in which to scrutinize the human form. As the bedrock of art education and art history, it is still the best way to understand the body. For me it makes perfect sense for Iggy Pop to be the subject of a life class; his body is central to an understanding of rock music and its place within American culture. His body has witnessed much and should be documented."

Iggy Pop's collaboration with Josh Homme, Post Pop Depression, is out March 18. Listen to "Sunday" below.
