Tom of Finland has not only cult status within the global gay community,
but has become part of pop culture and art history.
Tom‘s last partner, Durk Dehner, also his manager, estate administrator and cofounder
of Tom of Finland Foundation in Los Angeles, has made a decisive contribution
to setting the legacy of Tom of Finland into motion.
Tom of Finland, his art and his influence on gay artists of subsequent generations,
as well as the work purpose of Tom of Finland Foundation, are the focus of this special volume of My Gay Eye, which appears for the first time in both German and English.
