A Queer Little History of Art.    Alex Pilcher

In English. Softcover, 160 pages, 17.1 x 14.4 x 1.8 cm. Tate publishing, 2017

A celebration of more than 100 years of queer creativity, it features 70 remarkable works of drawing, painting, photography, sculpture, and installation. Over the last century, many artists have created works that challenge dominant models of gender and sexuality. The results can be sensual or serious, satirical or tender, discreetly coded or defiantly frank.

This book illustrates the wide variety of queer art from around the world - exploring bodies and identity, love and desire, prejudice and protest through drawing, painting, photography, sculpture and installation. 70 remarkable works - from 1900 to the present - reveal how queer experiences have differed across time and space, and how art has been part of a history of changing attitudes and emerging identities. Featuring works by, among others, Egon Schiele, Duncan Grant, Claude Cahun, Hannah Hoch, Frida Kahlo, David Hockney, Glenn Ligon, Zanele Muholi, Allyson Mitchell, and Tomoko Kashiki--all of whom subverted the norms of their time through bold and new forms of expression--A Queer Little History of Art is above all a celebration of more than 100 years of queer creativity.
