Leyencker is the subject of a small, but potent, exhibn at the New-York Historil Society that seeks to fd homoerotic ntent his ostensibly “All Amerin” imag and reclaim the work of a highly fluential LGBTQ+ artist to the natnal narrative.
Although no wrten acunts nfirm his sexualy, the exhibn’s this plaly stat that Leyencker was gay, while the e of phras such as “most likely” and “might have been” other wall texts give a sense of njecture. Yet the work’s tent, beyond sellg products, ultimately remas unclear, particularly as om a time before mp was dified and male homosocial behavr was prevalent.
