The art of AIDS, the classic collections that should not be worn 丨 outer

From the perspective of outsiders, Bell was a happy married man when he entered middle age. His unique career has made him very popular at various dinner: in addition to being a doctorate from Harvard University, he also created and produced many popular TV programs, such as "Emergency Room" and "Law and and" Law and and "Law and and" Law and and "Law and and" Law and and "Law and and" Law and and "Law and and" Law and and "Law and and" Law and Law and and "Laws and Laws. Order: SVU. But just when he introduced homosexual and cross -sex characters into a TV show, his desire and his followers suddenly tortured him. In 2013, in his 60s, he came out of his wife and their son at the university; he immediately felt a disruptive consolation.

In order to make up for the lost time, Bell, who used to be a casual art collector, began to only buy the work of homosexual artists. The work of the first homosexual artist he bought was the portrait of Paul Monette, a painter Don Bachardy, a painter of Paul Monette, a colorful acrylic image. Later, in 1992, Monite published his memoir "Become a Man: Half Life Story". This book also deeply affected Bell and made him a man he wanted to be. Today, next to the portrait of Monite, there is a portrait of Bell's own portrait, which is also drawn by Barchadi.

Bell's interest in "Kuer Art" across gender and identity, but he paid more attention to the works of gay artists in the early 2080s and the early 1980s and 1990s. Many of their works were created in relatively obscure circumstances, and they were often forgotten. They were not collected by a new generation of collectors until recent years.

Bell arranged his collection of works with curatorial eyes, and found the common points between artists: the sense of frustration felt in the loneliness and closedness of Warnerovitz and Wang; How to make a sick homosexual, especially the sick homosexuals, looks like a king; people look at each other with special curiosity and care, and also see themselves from each other. But what connects these six artists is the least noticeable point on them: when their career just started, they died of AIDS complications, with an average age of 44.

A large number of art works in the AIDS era were ignored. There are many obvious reasons. At that time, some viewers felt that the depiction of these works was too horrible to the disease, so that they did not want to watch it carefully or hang them above the bookcase, even some homosexuals. They need to let people understand their pain, but they do not want to be reminded to live in AIDS in their lives, because AIDS has affected all aspects of their lives.

Others have a disgust or fear of this kind of crowds they feel sexually perverted. At that time, the gay body was largely frightening. And some people just feel that these artists have not created enough works to make them great; they die before they have the opportunity to prove this.

But Bell's collection not only admits that he has also ignored these artists, or atonement for himself in the cabinet for so long. By purchasing and bidding these works, he and other like -minded (even richer) gay collectors are using their power to insist on requesting relevant institutions and auction houses to re -consider those artworks that have not been fully respected.

By revealing common creative methods and techniques, fear and obsession, and a complete network of friendship, love and competition, they are summarizing the systemic standards of the entire "Queer Art" and promoting it forward to make it forward to make it forward to make it forward. The unique alchemy of anger and desire reveals how people should discuss the concept of "Queer Art" today.
