AND in less than two weeks my new name will be Allison Wickman :)
Many of you probably know that beautiful Turku will be the 2011 European Capital of Culture. I am pleased to announce that next year Tom will be "coming home" to Finland (more info below)! If anyone else happens to have business out this way in conjunction with all the 2011 E.C.C. happenings, feel free to contact me. I'm happy to show and discuss some of the collections I'm working with.
See ya'll in March!
"The legendary homoerotic works of Tom of Finland have become iconic
stereotypes of masculine gay men throughout the world. Many people will
be surprised to learn that arguably the most internationally acclaimed
Finnish artist comes from Kaarina, a neighbouring town to Turku. Now,
Tom of Finland alias Touko Laaksonen (1920-1991) is coming home!
The
Homotopia organisation (from Liverpool in the UK) will provide Turku
with an extensive collection of Tom of Finland’s works, from sketches
made during his early years to later works. The works in the exhibition
will come from the Tom of Finland Foundation collection in Los Angeles.
Along with the exhibition, public lectures will take place on queer
culture and its associated visual arts.
15 January – 15 December 2011 at Logomo"
