AFTER DARK/WINTER

Our final AFTER DARK catalog of the year sees giants of male erotic art take center stage, with numerous works from institutions and private collections from Rex, The Hun, Matt (Charles Kerbs), Stephen Hale, Michael Kirwan, Etienne and many others. At AFTER DARK we offer each catalogue of artworks with an argument and a confidence that these are more deserving than the infinite supply of common aesthetic motifs that artists use to replicate, repeat and adorn. AFTER DARK illuminates the quietest corners and loudest soirees of gay history, art, and culture in the 20th century and beyond.
