Edition of a Tom of Finland preparatory drawing
accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from
Tom of Finland Foundation

Tom of Finland is widely regarded as one of the twentieth century’s most influential artists for his groundbreaking representation of the male figure. A master draftsman, whose passion for both his medium and his subject matter enabled him to become a powerful cultural force, Tom gave form to an imaginative universe that in turn helped fuel real-world liberation movements and enabled Gay men to access their strength in new ways. Tom’s drawings reaffirm the centrality of sexuality, joy, and the body in all areas of human endeavour.

This elegant study of a Leatherman showcases Tom of Finland’s draftsmanship, later the finished drawing would appear on the eponymous vodka from Finland.

Tom of Finland (1920–1991) has been the subject of numerous solo and two-person exhibitions, including Beryl Cook/Tom of Finland at Studio Voltaire.
