The Leslie Lohman Museum Presents Expanded Visions: Fifty Years of Collecting

This March, New York’s premiere museum for gay and lesbian art is reopening its doors after taking a hiatus to accommodate a greatly-anticipated expansion of the SoHo location.

Leslie-Lohman — along with its new Director Gonzalo Casals — will present its larger space’s inaugural exhibition, titled Expanded Visions: Fifty Years of Collecting, which features 250 works of LGBT art, some procured even before the Museum’s historic opening in 1987. Showcasing pieces collected by co-founders Charles Leslie and the late Fritz Lohman, Expanded Views promises a poignant show that traces Leslie-Lohman’s perseverance through decades of social evolution. leslielohman.org
