The Collections

As with any museum, the Leslie-Lohman’s collections form a major part of who we are. We maintain two separate collections—a Permanent Collection and a Study Collection—each stored and preserved in the same way, both devoted to honoring the Museum’s rich artistic and cultural heritage. It is our hope that the collections will reflect the entire LGBTQ experience. Today there are more then 20,000 objects in the Museum’s collections. The vast majority of the work was donated by either individual artists or collectors. These important donors help shape the collections and the Museum is deeply grateful for their generosity. The collections contain works by Catherine Opie, David Wojnarowicz, Keith Haring, Andy Warhol, George Platt Lynes, Jean Cocteau, Del LaGrace Volcano, Deborah Bright, and many, many others. In the coming years, we will be offering more exhibitions of work from the collections and also making it available for exhibitions outside of the Museum.

ithout question, this has been an amazing year for the Leslie-Lohman Museum of Gay and Lesbian Art. When Charles Leslie and Fritz Lohman began saving artwork from devastating destruction as men were dying of AIDS in the 1980s, they had no idea that their work would lead to the first and only museum in the world dedicated to the visual art that speaks to the LGBTQ community. Is there a gay culture? Vivian Gornick wrote in 1966, “The homosexual in modern Western society has always lived as an outsider, a spectator at the great heterosexual WASP banquet: you can look but you can’t touch…fundamental desires are contemptuously dismissed as constituting ‘an unnatural act.’ [But] that characteristic is likely to be the most powerful and most influential factor in one’s life; more than the condition of wealth or poverty, strength or weakness, stupidity or intelligence, more than the sharp influences of region, religion, or personality. It is a fact of existence, in essence, capable of producing a culture. A culture most curious in its general characteristics, its aims, its accomplishments.” Our job is to make gay culture public. Accredited by the New York State Board of Regents in 2011, the Leslie-Lohman Museum explores ideas through visual art that tell the stories of who we are. We do more than just place art on our walls; we strive to make everyone think, regardless of who they are. There is no one who cannot be moved by our exhibitions. We opened the year with a beautiful exhibition which displayed the Museum’s long-standing tradition of showing transgressive and figurative work. Peter Weiermair’s lovingly curated exhibition, Diaries: An Anthology of Photography from Italy, featured the work of eleven artists who live and work in Italy—each an accomplished artist. It was work that that seldom has been seen in a public setting, certainly not in their home country.

Queers in Exile

In July 2013, Queers in Exile: The Unforgotten Legacies of LGBTQ Homeless Youth, a groundbreaking exhibition curated by Alexis Heller, was presented as part of the All Out Arts Fresh Fruit Festival. Using transgender activist Sylvia Rivera’s essay Queens in Exile, the Forgotten Ones as inspiration, it explored the powerful personal histories, creativity, and activism of LGBTQ homeless youth from the Stonewall riots to today. Oral history, photography, and archival footage reflected the incredible resilience and important contributions of this community, in spite of society’s desire to keep them marginalized. Three works by Andy Warhol, including a large screen print of transgender activist/artist Marsha P. Johnson were on loan from the Warhol Museum. Right: Paul Thek And His Circle In The 1950s.

Talks and Lectures

In addition to thought provoking exhibitions, we offer lectures by internationally acclaimed artists including the provocative Catherine Opie, the innovative Duane Michals, and Canadian-based artist Kent Monkman. We held discussions encompassing topics ranging from the work of Peter Hujar and Paul Thek with Stephen Koch, Director of the Peter Hujar Archive, to a panel presented in partnership with Visual AIDS on HIV Criminalization Trans Politics featuring Laverne Cox. We hosted book launches with artists such as graphic illustrator JC Etheredge, Lance Out Loudeditor Christopher Makos, and artist, filmmaker and historian Douglas Blair Turnbaugh. We continue to attract new audiences through our public events programming that also include film screenings, performance works and special events.

Next we offered two exhibitions, Jonathan Ned Katz, a pioneer chronicler of gay art history whose own artwork ranged a span of more than fifty years. That exhibition, curated by Jonathan David Katz ran simultaneously with Rare & Raw, a collaboration with the Queer Art Caucus of the College Art Association. Toronto based curators Steph Rogerson and Kelly McCray explored how the work of one generation of gay artists informed the work of other gay artists. The exhibition incorporated work by G.B. Jones, Tom of Finland, Nina Levitt, Kent Monkman and others. In particular, the video piece by William E. Jones cannot be forgotten for the haunting manner in which it told the real life story of how individuals were entrapped as they pursued their most basic of human urges. That show was followed by Paul Thek And His Circle In The 1950s. It told the story of how a group of young artists befriended each other during a time when being gay was considered “sexual perversion.” This exhibition, which contained work by Thek alongside that of Peter Hujar, Joe Raffael, Peter Harvey and many others, was beautifully co-curated by Jonathan David Katz and Peter Harvey. It elicited favorable reviews in The New Yorker and The New York Times. Venerable art critic Holland Cotter pronounced Leslie-Lohman as an “invaluable museum.” Our collaboration with the All Out Arts – Fresh Fruit Festival, lead us to offer Queers in Exile: the Unforgotten Legacies of LGBTQ Homeless Youth, and exhibited the work of Samantha Box, Diana Davies, Leonard Fink, Gerard Gaskin, Thomas Lanigan-Schmidt, and many others. Then, the Recent Acquisitions – 2013 exhibition provided a stunning look at new work added to our collections. Over the past year, generous donors—artists and collectors—have contributed more than $250,000 in new work to the Museum.

“...it has taken the work of a much smaller institution, the Leslie Lohman Museum of Gay and Lesbian Art, to fill out, for the first time, a very early, formative phase in Mr. Thek’s life...” — Holland Cotter, New York Times, June 28, 2013

“Offering a glimpse beyond the thin veil of the McCarthy-era ‘lavender scare,’ when gay rights were a quixotic notion at best, this sensitively curated gathering presents a poignant and aptly timed foil to the current global campaigns for marriage equality.” — Julian Elias Bronner, Artforum, May 10, 2013

Prince St. Project Space

The Prince St. Project Space, which is located in the same location as Leslie-Lohman’s old basement gallery, has become a vital resource for exhibitions and events—a power plant, a generator of energy. Curated under Charles Leslie’s trained eye, it has a renewed vigor. While the weekly Drawing Studio continues on Wednesdays, we offer weekend exhibitions and events to give greater flexibility to a variety of artists. Recent exhibitions have included Back to the Future (including work by Richard Taddei, Robert W. Richards, Anthony Gonzales and others) and XXX: Sensuality Through the Eyes of the Photographer, co-curated by Kymara Lonergan and Hans van der Kamp (including work by Mick Rock, Dennis Morris, Clayton Patterson, Michael Rosen, Stanley Stellar and others). Additionally, we saw vintage work by Leee Black Childers from Andy Warhol’s only play Pork, co-curated by Kymara Lonergan and Oliver Klaassen.

We closed out the year with the work of Sascha Schneider (1870–1927), the prolific and talented German artist who was virtually erased from the art history books because of his unabashed view toward same-sex desire. Our exhibition presents Schneider’s first one-person show in the United States. Meanwhile, the Museum’s former location on Prince Street—what we like to call our Project Space—continues to offer weekend exhibitions, in many cases where artists can sell their work to the public. Those exhibitions are in addition to the weekly drawing groups and special events including magazine launch parties and other activities. At the Prince Street location we also offered Lust In Uniform—our contribution to the Blue Star Museum program organized by the National Endowment for the Arts and the U.S. Department of Defense. This was also the year that we welcomed the Museum’s first professional Director—Hunter O’Hanian—an individual committed to the organization’s mission with more than fifteen years of non-profit management experience who can augment the commitment, devotion and tenaciousness of the Museum’s long-standing staff, volunteers and board members. We’ve looked at all of our internal polices and made sure we are compliant with the latest in museum standards. We are busily accessioning the work in our collections and figuring out ways to make more of the work available to the general public. We are offering lectures to college classes, study guides for visitors, and independent talks, films and book signings. All-in-all, a very busy year. But we cannot do all of this without your support. We need you to be a member. We need your financial support or contribute artwork to the collections. We need you to volunteer to support our programs. Collectively, we can make this amazing place one of the strongest museums in the world.

STROKE

In Spring 2014, the Museum will offer STROKE, an exhibition, curated by Robert W. Richards, of illustrations from magazines published from the 1950s until their demise in the 1990s, when VHS tapes, then DVDs, and finally the computer made them forever obsolete. An era in gay history had died. The magazines offered what can only be described as male pinups. In the early days, they came in the form of little magazines with titles like Grecian Guild Pictorial and Tomorrow’s Man and pretended to be bodybuilding magazines, strength and health journals or even anatomy guides for “artists.” Later, they were more obvious and published under titles such as Honcho and Mandate. Those who bought them however, understood that they were a means to look at handsome, well-made men that in part reflected themselves or their own desire. They were available in drug store magazine racks and newsstands across the country. The exhilaration of knowing that something so exciting existed so close at hand and the possibility of owning one overwhelmed any misgivings or obstacles that stood between him and the thrilling object he lusted after.

“We see the Leslie-Lohman with a new building, several galleries and all of the opportunities one would expect in a first-class museum. We see our collection appearing in exhibitions around the world. We are building a museum that reflects the LGBTQ community. A go-to destination for all museumgoers” — Hunter O’Hanian, Museum Director

THE PINTO-WIGHT SOCIETY

The Leslie-Lohman Museum has a collection of over 20,000 objects that started when Charles W. Leslie and Fritz Lohman purchased one of their very first pieces of art, a drawing by Don Wight (1924–1999). This piece is significant as it affirmed their mutual respect for high quality artwork that speaks to the LGBTQ experience. Marion Pinto had the first one woman show at the LeslieLohman Gallery and left her estate to Museum. It is in this spirit of collecting and support that individuals may join this society with an annual pledge of $1,000 that will be used to purchase additional works of art.

The LIBRARY

For more than a decade the Leslie-Lohman Museum has maintained a library of books on gay art that allows us to host a significant research collection. There are more than 1,800 volumes cataloged, making it one of the largest known collections of books dedicated exclusively to gay art and the artists who create it. While our focus is homosexuality and gender issues in the visual arts, books also address dance, film and other topics. Although photography is the medium with the most number of volumes, the library explores other media including painting, drawing and sculpture. We also have many monographs. These volumes are maintained alongside our Artists Files—more than 2,500 files on individual artists that contain biographic information and ephemera. These resources are available to researchers through coordination with the Museum staff.
