Though the Stonewall Riots might now be shorthand for the start of the gay rights movement, so much of art and culture has been “queer” since the beginning of time. In About Face, art historian and curator Jonathan D. Katz curating a tapestry of works that connect historical threads and reveal how gender and sexual identity have been interwoven by artists contemporaneous to and since Stonewall. With more than 350 artworks by over 40 LGBTQ+ artists across nationalities and generations, and original texts by artists and scholars, About Face is as an important source material for future generations of artists, researchers, and curators.
