Andrew Logan was born in Witney, Oxfordshire, in England on 11 October 1945. The son of William Harold Logan and the third of six children, he attended Lord Williams' Grammar School and Burford Grammar School. He went to study architecture at the Oxford School of Architecture in 1964, graduating in 1970. Logan produced his first work in the late 1960s. He received some attention in 1970 with a room he created for the 'Ten Sitting Rooms' exhibition at the London Institute of Contemporary Arts. Starting in the 1970s, he also created sculptures, sound installations, portraits using pieces of mirror, and jewellery. His had his first sculpture ('a nine-foot silver lily') commissioned for a shop in Soho. He visited India in the 1980s and created a number of large pieces there. In 1973, Logan founded the Alternative Miss World, which he continued to run with the last one held in 2022. He influenced film-maker Derek Jarman, whose early film-making work documented the social scene around Logan and his studios at Butler's Wharf, London. Malcolm McLaren and Vivienne Westwood staged the "Valentine's Ball", at which the Sex Pistols first came to media attention, at his studios in 1976. • Illustration — Dudley, Scotts Green Island Millennium (Pegasus) In 1991 a major retrospective of his work was held at the Museum of Modern Art, Oxford.
