LGBTQ+ Art, Material Culture & History
This August, Swann is proud to host its fourth annual, LGBTQ+ Art, Material Culture & History sale.
The success of our first three auctions stands as part of the art historical record, but that has become even more apparent with the incredible amount of material consigned to our upcoming sale.
Original artwork by Tom of Finland includes, Portrait of Eric, which comes along with correspondence (two autograph letters) from the artist to the person who commissioned the artwork. The auction features a number of Tom of Finland items: artwork, studies for drawings, t-shirts, posters, temporary tattoos and some of the early magazines in which his art work appeared (Physique Pictorial and Jack in the Jungle)
The sale also boasts a number of works by artists associated with or influenced by Tom of Finland: including Sadao Hasegawa, George Quaintance, Jim French, and Rex and Etienne.
