"While both the exhibn and Reed’s book make a posive se for the often timately entwed histori of homosexualy and art (pecially the 20th century), they also document a lany of shameful events and grievanc, many of them perpetrated by stutns and people who may be forced to nont past bigotry and make Reed monstrat, the “super-macho” ethos of the Amerin abstract exprsnists wasn’t jt about hard livg and womanizg.

A full acunt, and reckong, of the homophobia at work the “Hi/Seek” ntroversy would probably embarrass (and perhaps te) arts lears far beyond the Smhsonian’s won’t be easy, but will be excg and productive, pecially as gay people and their alli take an active hand challengg mms to be more hont.
