Foundation Purchase.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We have so many histories,&#8221; Hunter O&#8217;Hanian explained to me in a recent <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=grq0&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">chat<\/a>. I had asked him to give me the abridged history of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leslielohman.org\/\" target=\"_hplink\">Leslie-Lohman Museum of Gay and Lesbian Art<\/a>, the institution for which he currently serves as director. Indeed, the museum cites more than a few birthdays on its website &#8212; one in 1969, when Charles Leslie and the late Fritz Lohman opened their home to art enthusiasts, one in 1987, and another in 2011. O&#8217;Hanian clarified:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We officially started in 1987, when people were dying of AIDS. Families would come in and throw everything away &#8212; throw away the <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">gay<\/a> art. It was obviously a terrible time, the &#8217;80s in New York City. So Charles and Fritz, who lived in SoHo, decided that they wanted to do something about it.&#8221; The co-founders were already a large part of <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">gay<\/a> culture, O&#8217;Hanian explained, having welcomed 200 people to their first exhibition years before. Realizing that the art created by their friends and peers was being disposed of at a rapid pace, the two decided to set up a non-profit corporation to preserve and exhibit the works of art that spoke to the <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">gay<\/a> and <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/?mp_code=akftr\">lesbian<\/a> community. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"hujar\" src=\"http:\/\/i.huffpost.com\/gen\/2131060\/thumbs\/o-HUJAR-900.jpg?1\"><br \/><em>Peter Hujar, Ethyl Eichelberger as Auntie Belle Emme, 1979, Vintage gelatin silver print, 14.563 x 14.625 in. Gift of the Peter Hujar Archives.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Of course, 25 years ago, the road to setting up a non-profit dedicated to archiving <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">gay<\/a> history <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leslielohman.org\/LLM-News\/SoHoInstitutionCelebratesBeingNamedWorldsFirstLGBTArtMuseum_DNAinfo_12-14-2011.pdf\" target=\"_hplink\">was a bumpy one<\/a>. It took three years to get their tax exemption. The IRS was not happy about the word &#8220;<a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">gay<\/a>&#8221; in the title, and it wasn&#8217;t until 1990 that the organization&#8217;s lawyers won their battle. Happily nestled at 127 Prince Street, the Leslie\/Lohman Gay Art Foundation, Inc. functioned as a safe haven for work that was otherwise going to be destroyed. Those works piled in. By the time the organization transitioned to the Leslie-Lohman Museum of Gay and Lesbian Art in 2011, it had collected over 24,000 pieces. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;From 1990 to 2010, over the course of 20 years, [Leslie and Lohman] did exhibitions, supported <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">gay<\/a> artists, and showed work that other galleries wouldn&rsquo;t necessarily show. Some of it was erotic, some intuitive.&#8221; They added board members, moved to a 1,800-square-foot exhibition space, began acquiring new artworks and hired O&#8217;Hanian in 2012. With a provisional charter &#8212; the organization is set to achieve official museum status in 2016 &#8212; Leslie and Lohman&#8217;s legacy began mounting six to eight shows a year. This year the museum is expecting 30,000 visitors.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"kargaltsev\" src=\"http:\/\/i.huffpost.com\/gen\/2130988\/thumbs\/o-KARGALTSEV-900.jpg?1\"><br \/><em>Alexander Kargaltsev, Black and White, 2014, Archival digital C-Print print, 19.938 x 29.938 in. Gift of the artist.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The museum now runs under a guest curator model. Individuals submit proposals for exhibitions to the museum&#8217;s committee, and O&#8217;Hanian guides the chosen submissions to fruition. At first, this made sense for the budget, but it also gives the museum an edge on perspectives. &#8220;We weren&#8217;t quite ready to have a single voice, so we have multiple voices.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Those multiple voices have launched exhibitions like &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.leslielohman.org\/exhibitions\/2013\/queer-threads\/queer-threads-1.html\" target=\"_hplink\">Queer Threads: Crafting Identity and Community<\/a>&#8221; (curated by John Chaich), &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.leslielohman.org\/exhibitions\/2014\/stroke\/stroke-1.html\" target=\"_hplink\">STROKE: From Under the Mattress to the Museum Walls<\/a>&#8221; curated by Robert W. Richards, and &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.leslielohman.org\/exhibitions\/2014\/bodies\/bodies-1.html\" target=\"_hplink\">After Our Bodies Meet: From Resistance to Potentiality<\/a>&#8221; (curated by Alexis Heller). Aside from the shows, O&#8217;Hanian&#8217;s team has built up a stunning permanent collection, one that includes pieces by the likes of David Hockney, Robert Indiana and Peter Hujar. They&#8217;ve borrowed works from the Smithsonian and the Library of Congress, and now they&#8217;re lending too. From a 60&#8217;s loft to a Wooster Street staple, Leslie-Lohman has been blossoming for over four decades.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"hockney\" src=\"http:\/\/i.huffpost.com\/gen\/2131050\/thumbs\/o-HOCKNEY-900.jpg?1\"><br \/><em>David Hockney, Two Boys aged 23 or 24 from: Fourteen Poems from C.P.

Foundation purchase with funds provided by Ray Warman and Dan Kiser.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Still, O&#8217;Hanian sees potential for growth. &#8220;What we hope that we can do &#8212; and what we care a great deal about &#8212; is treat and deal with issues of gender and <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/couples\/?mp_code=akftr\">sex<\/a> in a professional museum setting that is done in a straight forward and honest manner. So that other museums have the courage to do so.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>The art landscape is obviously much different than when Leslie and Lohman began collecting &#8212; in terms of sexual and gender representation and the scale of the art market. But the traditional aspects of the art world persist. &#8220;My general overarching perception of the art world is that it tends to be relatively traditional based upon the fact that it&#8217;s commerce related. With commerce comes caution.&#8221; Even in Provincetown, O&#8217;Hanian&#8217;s home before New York City, traditional landscapes reign supreme. &#8220;Stuff pops up here and there, but they&#8217;re not taking as many risks as they can.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"abbott1\" src=\"http:\/\/i.huffpost.com\/gen\/2131042\/thumbs\/o-ABBOTT1-900.jpg?1\"><br \/><em>Berenice Abbott, Margaret Anderson, ca. 1923-26, Silver gelatin print, 13 x 10 in. Foundation purchase with funds provided by Alix L.L. Ritchie and Marty Davis.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Leslie-Lohman&#8217;s mission statement prioritizes a desire to exhibit and preserve art that speaks directly to the many aspects of the LGBTQ experience. That includes <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leslielohman.org\/exhibitions\/2014\/trans-lives\/trans.html\" target=\"_hplink\">the transgender experience<\/a>. &#8220;We&rsquo;re definitely expounding our mission, and we definitely have a strong desire to be inclusive as we can be, involving other underrepresented communities. It&#8217;s non-heternormative core of who we are.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;An international aspect is also very big for us,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"dam\" src=\"http:\/\/i.huffpost.com\/gen\/2131052\/thumbs\/o-DAM-900.jpg?1\"><br \/><em>Dyke Action Machine (DAM), Do you love the dyke in your life, 1995, Processed ink on paper, 8 x 8 in. Foundation Purchase.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>This month, the museum will reach another milestone of sorts. The exhibition &#8220;Classical Nudes and the Making of Queer History&#8221; will show off a piece by none other than Michelangelo Buonarroti, of &#8220;Pieta&#8221; and &#8220;David&#8221; fame. Curated by Jonathan David Katz, the collection places the <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/couples\/?mp_code=akftr\">nude<\/a> at the center of early same-<a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/couples\/?mp_code=akftr\">sex<\/a> representation in art, reexamining the visual meaning of early queer history. For Leslie-Lohman curators, and O&#8217;Hanian, the question of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.out.com\/entertainment\/art-books\/2013\/09\/17\/hunter-ohanian-new-york-leslie-lohman-museum-gay-art\" target=\"_hplink\">what makes a work <em>gay<\/em><\/a>, whether it&#8217;s been crafted by Michelangelo or an outsider artist, never ends.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&rsquo;s really interesting,&#8221; O&#8217;Hanian mused at the end of our interview. &#8220;On the one hand, you know a work is <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">gay<\/a> when you see it. On the other hand, we&#8217;re talking about artists and people who have just been marginalized, and they often still <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=grq0&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">live<\/a> within a marginalized community. At the then end of the day, what is the artist&rsquo;s intent? What do they want to convey in making that particular piece of art? I am directed more, than by anything else, by wants and desires and understanding.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"swann\" src=\"http:\/\/i.huffpost.com\/gen\/2131046\/thumbs\/o-SWANN-900.jpg?1\"><br \/><em>Ingo Swann, Male Love &#8211; Not War, n.d., Collage, 11 x 16.5 in.
