Book excerpt: Founded in the context of social movements of the late 1960s, The Leslie-Lohman Museum is dedicated to preserving art that speaks to the LGBTQ experience and fostering the artists who create it. Queer Holdings aims to reclaim scholarship from a queer perspective by surveying 200 works from the Museum's permanent collection. A selection of essays by scholars, artists and archivists, explore the Museum's possible futures by tracing its visual, cultural, and political evolutions in parallel with 50 years of shifting social conditions for LGBTQ communities. The collecting origins of the Leslie-Lohman Museum can be traced to 1969, when its founders hosted their first 'homosexual art fair' in New York. Evolving from gallery to foundation to museum in five decades, Leslie-Lohman's collection mirrors shifting histories of LGBTQ social movements in the United States. Queer Holdings presents 200 objects from the Museum's vast permanent collection, and gathers texts that explore history and provenance, genre and subject matter, and engage in critical conversations about gender and race in the Museum's collection. Queer Holdings offers an institution's possible futures by revisiting its past.
Download or read book Art and Homosexuality written by Christopher Reed and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2011-05-26 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This bold, globe-spanning survey is the first book to thoroughly explore the radical, long-standing interdependence between art and homosexuality. It draws examples from the full range of the Western tradition, including classical, Renaissance, and contemporary art, with special focus on the modern era. It was in the modern period, when arguments about homosexuality and the avant-garde were especially public, that our current conception of the artist and the homosexual began to take shape, and almost as quickly to overlap. Not a chronology of gay or lesbian artists, the book is a fascinating and sophisticated account of the ways two conspicuous identities have fundamentally informed one another. Art and Homosexuality discusses many of modernism's canonical figures--painters like Courbet, Picasso, and Pollock; writers like Whitman and Stein--and issues, such as the rise of abstraction, the avant-garde's relationship to its patrons and the political exploitation of art. It shows that many of the core ideas that define modernism are nearly indecipherable without an understanding of the paired identities of artist and homosexual. Illustrated with over 175 b/w and color images that range from high to popular culture and from Ancient Greece to contemporary America, Art and Homosexuality punctures the platitudes surrounding discussions of both aesthetics and sexual identity and takes our understanding of each in stimulating new directions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2020 Award for Excellence from the Association of Art Museum Curators, Art After Stonewall explores the powerful art that emerged in the wake of the Stonewall Riots and the rise of the LGBTQ liberation movement in the U.S. Art after Stonewall reveals the impact of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender civil rights movement on the art world. Illustrated with more than 200 works, this groundbreaking volume stands as a visual history of twenty years in American queer life. It focuses on openly LGBT artists like Nan Goldin, Harmony Hammond, Lyle Ashton Harris, Greer Lankton, Glenn Ligon, Robert Mapplethorpe, Catherine Opie, and Andy Warhol, as well as the practices of such artists as Diane Arbus, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and Karen Finley in terms of their engagement with queer subcultures. The Stonewall Riots of June 1969 sparked the beginning of the struggle for gay and lesbian equality, and yet fifty years later, key artists who fomented the movement remain little known. This book tells the stories behind their works--which cut across media, mixing performance, photographs, painting, sculpture, film, and music with images taken from magazines, newspapers, and television.

Book excerpt: For the first time, the erotic art of Peter Flinsch, winner of the first Lifetime Achievement Award from the Leslie/Lohman Gay Art Foundation in New York in 2006, is collected in a beautiful, full-colour edition that celebrates his life and work.

Download or read book Fernando Carpaneda written by Carpazine Art Magazine and published by . This book was released on 2020-09-17 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 1980 and 1997, Fernando Carpaneda built countless assemblages using objects from his friends, lovers, and family members. Items such as: cigarette butts, empty cans, underwear, boxes of toothpaste, clothing, wood. From a diverse array of materials the artist also sculpted nude male figures using water-based clay. Most of the figures depicted in the assemblages are portraits of: friends, colleagues, sex workers, porn star, punks, and everyday people. The art of assemblage is based on the principle that any and all material can be incorporated into a work of art, creating a new set without losing its original meaning. It is a combination of elements into a larger set, where it is always possible to identify that each piece is compatible and considered art. By using various materials such as papers, fabrics, or wood "glued" to a canvas, the artist manages to overcome the limitations of the surface, thus breaking the limit of painting, creating a junction of painting, and sculpture. His voracious engagement in the cause of diversity and punk culture led him to exhibit at Art Basel in Miami, the Tom of Finland Foundation in California, The Stax Museum of American Soul Music in Memphis and The Leslie Lohman Museum of Art in New York to name a few. His works are included in multiple art collections, galleries and museums, also appearing in publications as The Best of Punk Globe Magazine, alongside Debbie Harry, Jamie Oliver (UK SUBS), Sid Vicious, Earl Slick, John Lydon, The Adicts, Glen Matlock, Joe Dallesandro, Andy Warhol, Pauley Perrete also in Treasures Of Gay Art, a book by Leslie Lohman Museum of Art, featuring Andy Warhol, Robert Mapplethorpe, Keith Haring, Jean Cocteau and many others.

Download or read book The Hidden Image written by Peter Weiermair and published by MIT Press (MA). This book was released on 1988-01 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Hidden Image is both a stunning anthology of the male nude and a revealing history of how male sexuality has been portrayed photographically from the earliest daguerreotype self portrait of Hippolyte Bayard to the formalized fantasies of Robert Mapplethorpe. The 142 photographs include many previously unpublished portraits from both public and private collections in Europe and the United States. They include works by the historical luminaries Edward Weston, May Ray, Imogene Cunningham, and Cecil Beaton and the modern innovators David Hockney, Judy Dater, Dino Pedriali, and Joel Peter Witkin. Because it is not limited to one photographer or even one genre of photography, The Hidden Image is a record of the changing iconography of the male nude and of the repression, the sublimation, and the taboos surrounding the depiction of the body. Some of the images, such as those by Weston and Cunningham, are romantic, misty shots of Adonis like figures lounging in painterly landscapes; others, like those of Eadweard Muybridge and Etienne Jules Marey, are multiframe studies of locomotion. Still others are formal poses that treat the male body in abstract sculptural terms. Some of the contemporary photographs depict erotic fantasies; others such as those of Joel Peter Witkin confront us head on with our deepest primal terrors. Peter Weiermair studied art history at the Universities of Innsbruck and Vienna, was curator of the Innsbruck Art Institute, and has been director of the German Photography Museum in Frankfurt since 1980. He has written widely on the history of photography, and has published monographs on Wilhelm von Gloeden, Robert Mapplethorpe, Peter Hujar, George Platt Lynes, and Herbert Tobias. He serves on the executive committee of the European Society for the History of Photography.
