Queer Art

Product detailed description

 Queer Art, written by curators Mollie E. Barnes and Gemma Rolls-Bentley, presents an engaging overview of modern and contemporary queer art from around the world. Through an intergenerational and globally diverse selection of artists, the book highlights how queer perspectives have shaped artistic practice and visual culture.

Thematic chapters explore ideas of identity, love, history and futurism, discussing the work of artists such as Keith Haring, Bhupen Khakhar, Lotte Laserstein, Hélio Oiticica, Catherine Opie and Xiyadie. Rather than defining queerness solely through explicit imagery or identity, the book reveals the complex and varied ways queer experiences are expressed in art.

By bringing together historical figures and contemporary practitioners, the publication creates a rich narrative that connects past struggles with present creativity while imagining new futures in which art challenges and reshapes social norms.
