News | Killion Huang: Collected by Tom of Finland Foundation & Leslie Lohman Museum

 

Nan Ke Gallery is pleased to announce that works by gallery artist Killion Huang have been acquired by the Tom of Finland Foundation and Leslie Lohman Museum.

 

Huang also participated in Packed for Pleasure, a group exhibition presented by the Foundation at Galerie Regard, Paris, from October 1 to 13, 2026. Curated by Brooke Wise, the exhibition brought together works by Tom of Finland, Jean Cocteau, Man Ray, Bruce Nauman, and contemporary artists across generations.

Spanning nearly a century of art, publications, and archival material, the exhibition explored how desire finds expression and routes of circulation under conditions of restriction. Through coded imagery, mail-order publications, and underground networks, it examined how censorship shapes the making, distribution, and remembrance of images, connecting histories of erotic imagery with contemporary questions of visibility and freedom of expression.

 

Established in 1984 by Tom of Finland and Durk Dehner, the Tom of Finland Foundation initially sought to preserve the artist’s work before expanding its mission to protect and promote erotic art more broadly. Through its collection, archives, exhibitions, and public education, the Foundation supports erotic artists and preserves the cultural histories surrounding their work.
