“AllTogether” | Annie Sprinkle, Attila Richard Lukacs and Aurélien Nobécourt-Arras

AllTogether features artists from the Tom of Finland Foundation collections.

ANNIE SPRINKLE (B. 1954, American)
Annie M. Sprinkle, Ph.D. is an artist and activist whose feminist, sex-positive, and ecologically minded work—dating from the 1970s through the present—encompasses a variety of media, including photography, writing books, filmmaking, performance art, theater, and visual art. Sprinkle is America’s first sex-positive feminist and was the first porn star in history to receive a Ph.D. from the Institute for Advanced Study of Human Sexuality in San Francisco. With her wife and collaborator, Beth Stephens, they founded the Ecosex Movement. Sprinkle was the recipient of the 2020 Tom of Finland Foundation Lifetime Achievement Award. Sprinkle lives and works in San Francisco, CA.

ATTILA RICHARD LUKACS (B. 1962, Canadian)
Attila Richard Lukács gained international attention via his E-werk series that he created in the 1980s and ’90s while living in Berlin, where he was part of the subculture Skinheads Against Racial  Prejudice (SHARP). The E-werk series was a collection of large figurative paintings of male nude and seminude skinheads, depicted in heroic, classical, and erotic poses in chiaroscuro, reminiscent of Renaissance art.

AURÉLIEN NOBÉCOURT-ARRAS (B. 1993, Mexican-French)
Photographer and researcher Aurélien Nobécourt Arras focuses on questions of men at the intimacy, relation, and self-representation in men, at the intersection of the social systems of gender and the aesthetics of analog photography. In 2019, he was a Tom of Finland Foundation Artist-in-Residence. Nobécourt Arras currently lives and works in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
