Tom of Finland
The exhibition celebrates the 40th anniversary of the Tom of Finland Foundation, a pioneering organization in gay art. In addition to the exhibition of Tom of Finland's iconic works, the exhibition will also feature a virtual reality work "Tom House the VR Experience", a visual and audio journey that allows visitors to immerse themselves into the world of Tom.
Tom of Finland's depictions of muscular, free-spirited men boldly confronted the social prejudices of his time and taught many people the meaning of courage and self-expression. His art increased the confidence and pride of the community and has had a profound impact on the LGBTQ+ movement around the world. His influence has touched artists such as Freddie Mercury, Andy Warhol, Jean-Paul Gaultier, Tom Ford, Helmut Lang, Robert Mapplethorpe, Bruce Weber, and many others. The Forty Years of Pride exhibition provides an opportunity to understand the impact of Tom of Finland on the contemporary art scene, in social consciousness, and how his message resonates with so many diverse people.
The exhibition is part of The 2024 Diesel x Tom of Finland Foundation Pride program supported by Diesel. Following the Tom of Finland Art & Culture Festival at Halle am Berghain in Berlin, a presentation and discussion on Fire Island, New York, and Pride events in Helsinki. Through this initiative, Diesel appreciates and applauds the Tom of Finland Foundation for providing the artist community with a unique space for openness, freedom, and love, and for the tremendous social and cultural impact it has had.
In addition to the artworks on display and for sale at the Forty Years of Pride exhibition, the venue will also sell artist-related merchandise and the 2024 Diesel x Tom of Finland Pride capsule collection.
