Has Any Artist’s Sexual Fantasies Shaped Culture as Much as Tom of Finland’s?

Tom of Finland’s artwork bridges pre-AIDS sexuality and a vision of peptide-powered physicality, capturing queer sensibilities across past, present, and future.

Now, Tom’s Stretch, a generation-spanning exhibition at David Kordansky Gallery in Los Angeles (through Aug. 22), pairs his groundbreaking work with that of more than 70 artists, including Matthew Barney, Peter Hujar, Robert Mapplethorpe, Cindy Sherman, Salman Toor, Jonas Wood, and Mike Kelley.
