This is a new perspective on art history. Queer & Art positions the art of artists from all over the world in clear lines and beautifully illustrated. Well-known names such as Isaac Julien, Nicole Eisenmann and Tom of Finland, but also new stars in the artistic firmament.
This is the long-awaited standard work on queer art history. It is about art made by artists from LGBTQ+ communities from all over the world from the late 1960s to the present. But it is much more than that. It introduces inspiring, sometimes abrasive art that radiates liveliness and shamelessness. It is about the resilience of the human spirit, about art that searches for a place outside the beaten track, inclusive and with room for the individual and for others. That place is far from self-evident for many outside the Western world.
The author of this book, an internationally celebrated expert in the field of queer art, shows how rich and appealing the subject is. Regardless of your background or identity. For this book, she curated work by contemporary queer artists and grouped it under the headings Queer Spaces, Queer Bodies and Queer Power.
Queer & art transcends the boundaries between ‘high art’ and street art, new and established art and the offerings of art galleries and influencers. This book finally gives a voice to all those artists who have not been heard for a long time or far too little.
