His collaborations with Grace Jones include the covers of Island Life and Slave to the Rhythm, both released in 1985. The Paris Musée des Arts Décoratifs presented a retrospective of his work in 2011–12, bringing together drawings, objects, photographs and films from a career extending across several forms of visual communication.
