LA PRIDE 2013

LA PRIDE'S EROTIC CITY – Spreading the word

ToFF gives a giant thank you to Christopher Street West, Steve Ganzell, Tom Pardoe, the City of West Hollywood, everyone that volunteered in the ToFF booth, Miguel Angel Reyes, the artists that showed with us: Michael Kirwan, Lalo Ugalde, E. Salvador Hernandez, Ethann Maxx, Hector Silva and EVERYONE that stopped by Tom of Finland Foundation.

Everyone helps spread the word about the Beauty of erotic art, all its merits and together we promote healthier, more tolerant attitudes about sexuality.

Modern Art will be at Art Basel in Switzerland.

Bringing over 300 leading galleries from around the world to the heart of Europe, the fair is open to the public 13th – 16th June. You can find Stuart Shave / Modern Art in the Art Galleries section, at stand J7.

The show’s individual sectors represent every artistic medium: paintings, sculpture, installations, videos, multiples, prints, photography, and performance. Each day offers a full program of events, including symposiums, films, and artist talks. Further afield, exhibitions and events are offered by cultural institutions in Basel and the surrounding area, creating an exciting, region-wide art week.

TOM House in “PIN-UP”
Pure architectural entertainment!

PIN–UP is a magazine that captures an architectural spirit, rather than focusing on technical details of design, by featuring interviews with architects, designers, and artists, and presenting work as an informal work in progress – a fun assembly of ideas, stories and conversations, all paired with cutting-edge photography and artwork.

Both raw and glossy, the magazine is a nimble mix of genres and themes, finding inspiration in the high and the low by casting a refreshingly playful eye on rare architectural gems, amazing interiors, smart design, and that fascinating area where those areas connect with contemporary art.

Included in Issue 14 (Spring / Summer 2013) is a visit to legendary Gay artist Tom of Finland's Los Angeles sanctuary.
