Fire Island Art: 100 Years

by John Dempsey (Editor)

Fire Island has long been a creative refuge for queer artists, located about 90 minutes from New York City. This book offers the first comprehensive art history of the island, exploring visual art created there since the 1930s through fifteen chapters focused on interconnected communities of artists. It features both historic figures such as Paul Cadmus, David Hockney, Robert Mapplethorpe, and Andy Warhol, as well as contemporary artists like Nicole Eisenman, Wolfgang Tillmans, and Salman Toor.
