Kunstmuseum Basel Examines Homosexuality in Art History
The Kunstmuseum Basel has opened an exhibition exploring the representation of homosexuality in art, a topic that has long been marginalized in Switzerland. The show brings together works from various periods, highlighting how queer identities were often coded or hidden. It includes pieces by artists such as Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Nan Goldin, and David Wojnarowicz, alongside historical works. The exhibition aims to address the erasure of LGBTQ+ narratives from art history and to present a more inclusive perspective. It runs until a specific date (not provided in the source).
