For the past three years, I’ve been working on a book about the dismantling of the National Endowment for the Arts in the early 1990s, and how America lost much of its arts funding over a handful of (mostly queer) artists, including Andres Serrano, Robert Mapplethorpe, David Wojnarowicz, Karen Finley, Marlon Riggs and Todd Haynes. It’s a piece of history that’s become all the more timely over the last few weeks, as the Trump administration moves to reshape or gut a number of federal agencies, including the NEA.I’m so excited to announce that Indecent and Obscene: How America Lost Its Arts Funding is being published by @haymarketbooks!! I cannot imagine a better home for this book and love that I’m getting to work with @kro421 again.So many thanks to @rob.mcquilkin and the whole @mmqalit team for being the best at what they do.Round two here we go!!!
