Duffy gave up photography in 1979 and burned most of his negatives, but resumed working in 2009, mounting a major solo exhibition (his first) at Chris Beetles Gallery in London. He died earlier this year at the age of 76 but over the past several years his son Chris has been instrumental in bringing Brian Duffy's work back into the limelight. A book is planned for 2011 and you can see more images now at duffyphotographer.com....
PS: An interesting piece of dot connecting: in the early 1970s Duffy formed an agency (Duffy Design Concepts) with graphic designer Celia Philo, the mother of fashion designer Phoebe Philo.
