Title: Tom of Finland: The Official Life and Work of a Gay Hero
Description: Cernunnos, New York, 2020. First Edition, Hardcover. New Book. 9782374951331 29cm x 22.5cm. 296 pages, illustrations, some colour. Illustrated matte papered boards. "Tuoko Laaksonen, also known as Tom of Finland (1920-1991), was an iconic and provocative artist who rose to cult status in the international gay community and beyond for his work celebrating gay archetypes and masculinity during a time when being gay was taboo. Created in partnership with the Tom of Finland Estate, Tom of Finland: The Official Life and Work of a Gay Hero is a beautifully detailed visual biography full of never or rarely seen documents from his archive. The text was completed just a few months before the death of the artist and was fully approved by him-making this book the only 100% approved biography of this gay legend responsible for creating the muscled, mustachioed gay archetype of the 1960s and '70s."
