Gemma Rolls-Bentley’s Queer Art: From Canvas to Club, and the Spaces Between brings LGBTQ+ artistic history to life by celebrating the key cultural landmarks that have shaped the queer community from the 20th century to today. This landmark publication explores how art has closely mapped the struggles, celebrations, and shifts in queer life, from the Stonewall uprising to the rise of drag culture, the fight for marriage equality, and the ongoing quest for trans liberation.
This beautifully curated book features over 170 artworks selected by renowned LGBTQ+ curator Gemma Rolls-Bentley. With chapters on Queer Spaces, Queer Bodies, and Queer Power, it presents a stunning collection that mixes highbrow art with pop culture icons, from gallery stalwarts to Instagram stars. The book takes readers on a journey through the diverse and dynamic worlds of queer identity, showcasing how artists working across various mediums—painting, performance, digital art, and more—have documented key moments impacting the LGBTQ+ community.
