  • Tom of Finland Foundation Logo

    Tom of Finland Foundation

    In 1984, the nonprofit Tom of Finland Foundation (ToFF) was established by the artist Tom of Finland (1920 – 1991) and Durk Dehner. As Tom had established worldwide recognition as the master of homoerotic art, the Foundation's original purpose was to preserve his vast catalog of work. Several years later the scope was widened to offer a safe haven for all erotic art in response to rampant discrimination against art that portrayed sexual behavior or generated a sexual response. ToFF continues in its efforts of educating the public as to the cultural merits of erotic art and in promoting healthier, more tolerant attitudes about sexuality. Today, the mission includes the work of hundreds of artists, an artist residency, juried art competitions, and international art fairs and exhibitions all over the world.
