Lee Miller: 20th Century Woman' focuses on the extraordinary life of the American born photographer Lee Miller, New York model in the 1920s, an artist's muse in 1930's Paris, a surrealist and a Vogue fashion photographer, WW2 war correspondent and gourmet cook.
Lee Miller has been the subject of a 2025 movie 'Lee' starring Kate Winslet, as well as major exhibitions at the V&A, the Imperial War Museum, and most recently at Tate Britain (Oct 2025 to Feb 2026).
A professional photographer himself, Derek Adams has spent years meticulously researching the life story of Lee Miller. In 2019 he published 'Exposure: Snapshots from the life of Lee Miller' a biography in a series of poems, of which Lee's son Antony Penrose said "I regard this book as a perceptive and touching portrait of my mother."
