This landmark show features fifteen original preparatory drawings by Tom of Finland—works never before exhibited, offering a rare look into Tom’s formative years as an artist.

Enjoy photos of the opening and visit the show.

Tom of Finland Foundation has contributed three works to the exhibition, including a photograph of Tom of Finland by Jack Shear.

See TOM House folks at the opening and then take in the exhibition.

Over 50 international artists (including Tom of Finland and Rinaldo Hopf), whose works explore themes ranging from eroticism to alienation and revolt to ritual, present diverse sensual, political, and surprising perspectives. The exhibition celebrates the 70th birthday of collector Timo Miettinen.

A new exhibition of paintings by current artist-in-residence Éamon McGivern. The series of oil paintings is based on original and archival photographs made and discovered at TOM House during his residency. "About half of the paintings are based on photographs of Tom’s friends and lovers here in L.A."

New paintings by San Francisco-based artist Éamon McGivern. Drawing on personal memory and research in the GLBT Historical Society archives, McGivern offers portraits that reflect on the lives and legacies of Queer and Trans elders whose absence continues to shape contemporary life.

The exhibition brings together eight moving-image works by contemporary artists who use video and film-based installations to pay tribute to formative figures and overlooked histories and includes P. Staff’s The Foundation shot at TOM House, with choreographic sequences staged within a set.

The exhibition presents works of art from the Middle Ages to the present day and demonstrates the highly fluctuating degree of visibility in images. In the works of over thirty artists, including Rinaldo Hopf and Tom of Finland, it uncovers the codes of same-sex desire and searches for sexual, romantic, and gender diversity in the images.

Presenting nine artists who deal with interpersonal relationships, closeness and anonymity and the associated longings and disappointments: Intimacy, vulnerability, emotionality and sexuality, whereby (explicit) erotic depictions are not necessarily in the foreground with a focus on Queer life.
