The artist collective General Idea did a number of works
about AIDS in the 1980s and 90s. There’s a catalogue for an exhibition
from about 5 years ago:
General Idea : editions, 1967-1995. Edited by Barbara Fischer.
Mississauga, Ont. : Blackwood Gallery, University of Toronto at Mississauga,
c2003.
Additionally, Sue Coe produced prints depicting people ill
in hospital beds. I have seen these prints exhibited at the Yale University
Medical Library but I am not sure if they are reproduced in any books by or
about her. The Medical History Library here has a prints and drawings
department with an amazing collection that would likely be useful for this
student: http://www.med.yale.edu/library/historical/.
