More giving from Rick Rediske

Rick Rediske’s passion for artwork created for Leather events and Gay community causes inspired him to begin collecting art.

From his private collection in Palm Springs, Rick has generously donated three works to our collection: an early 1990s drawing by TANK, a photograph by Greg Bruce, and a photograph by Victor Arimondi from his Construction Workers series, created in the late 1980s.

TANK Men’s Embrace, c. 1991

GREG BRUCE Izzo No.4, 2001

VICTOR ARIMONDI Construction Workers series, c. 1988

Last year, he donated Heart & Flowers, a Rockwellian painting by TANK, which was exhibited for our members and guests at the 2024 Tom of Finland Art & Culture Festival.

Rick’s donations to Tom of Finland Foundation reflect his belief that it is time to ensure these artists’ works are preserved, shared, and enjoyed for generations to come.

Thank you, Rick, for your generosity and commitment to Queer art history.
