“Albert Schunk was an out and proud, gay, German leatherman who loved sex and sarcasm. A patron of the arts, Albert knew early on that he wanted to be immortalized by THE Tom of Finland, which was why he commissioned drawing #89.16. He had the wisdom to safeguard his legacy by leaving this and another drawing (#87.22) to Tom of Finland Foundation’s permanent collection for posterity.” – Durk Dehner, Cofounder of Tom of Finland Foundation on the bequeathal by Albert Schunk of two original Tom of Finland drawings SEE MORE IN OUR STORIES OR “News” LINK IN BIO
