Tom of Finland: Highway Patrol, Greasy Rider, and Other Selected Works features collages and drawings by the iconic artist. At the center of the exhibition is a full suite of impeccably rendered drawings from the series Kake vol. 21 – “Greasy Rider” (1978) and Kake vol. 22 – “Highway Patrol” (1980).

This past weekend, plenty of pain pigs braved the Los Angeles weather to witness Bleeding Two Ways, the final performance by Tom of Finland Foundation Artist-in-Residence Carta Monir with special guests Skye Novaya and the incomparable Sheree Rose.

A great time was had by all!

It’s not common to take one’s seat at a dinner table and find the napkins adorned with a cock ring. During any other dinner celebration this rather unconventional motif would’ve scared off guests. Except when the honoree is Tom of Finland.

Following a panel and opening reception, Durk Dehner played host to an intimate dinner at The Standard Grill in Manhattan’s Meatpacking District. Abi Benitez from Gayletter was on hand to document the occasion.

In commemoration of the exhibition TOM OF FINLAND: Highway Patrol, Greasy Rider, and Other Selected, David Kordansky Gallery will release the publication Tom of Finland: Threesome in conjunction with the opening. Threesome will encompass numerous exhibitions presented by DKG since 2015.

"Yes, I consider my work pornography. Pornography means to stimulate peoples’ sexual feelings, and I’m always very aware of that. My motive is lower than art… If I don’t have an erection when I’m doing a drawing, I know it’s no good… I find the animal in a man attractive… an object of desire…"

Tom took the party to Boom to celebrate. Located inside The Standard Hotel High Line, the afterparty was hosted by Durk Dehner and Susanne Bartsch.

The new exhibition of work by Tom of Finland presents both collage and drawing artworks of Tom’s. This will shine a light on his process of rendering images through a variety of media along the way.

Durk Dehner, Cofounder of Tom of Finland Foundation, will touch on Tom’s influence across generations and temporalities.
