Stanley Stellar / Llie-Lohman Mm of Gay and Lbian Art. From the stage of the Founrs’ Day celebratn of the Llie + Lohman Mm of Gay and Lbian Art, the octogenarian art llector addrsed the r crowd there to celebrate the upg expansn of the mm he tablished– a major tone that will double size the world’s first and only mm dited to gay art.

His rourc, bed wh Llie’s nnectns to the theater and art worlds, enabled them to amass a trove of gay art.
