Nude drawings of Iggy Pop to feature in new art exhibition

Rock star Iggy Pop, already known for his love of performing shirtless, is to be the star of a new exhibition of nude drawings reports Dazed Digital.

The singer already posed nude for the works earlier this year in a drawing class held at the New York Academy of Art, organized by the Brooklyn Museum and conceived by British artist Jeremy Deller.

The Brooklyn Museum has now announced that the results of the class, in which 21 artists created the drawings the pop icon, will now go on display from November 4 2016 until March 26 2017.

The exhibition, called "Iggy Pop Life Class", will display the Iggy drawings along with other drawings of the male body, and will also be published in a book, due for release October 20 via HENI Publishing.

Back in February Deller commented on the news saying that the musician's "body is central to an understanding of rock music and its place within American culture. His body has witnessed much and should be documented."
