Join us for a tour exploring gender, sexuality, and LGBTQ+ perspectives in "Untitled” (America). From Florine Stettheimer’s fabulous New York gay salons of the 1910s to Félix González-Torres’ exploration of poetic tensions in community and identity, we will think about the diverse ways in which queerness has shaped the landscape of American modern art.
