5 Queer Artists From the Artnet Gallery Network to Celebrate This Pride Month
Artnet News published a Pride Month roundup titled “5 Queer Artists From the Artnet Gallery Network to Celebrate This Pride Month,” highlighting queer artists available through the Artnet Gallery Network. The article notes American documentary and street photographer William Gedney (1932–1989), whose 1960s–1970s series in rural Kentucky, San Francisco, India, and New York gained wider recognition after his death when Lee Friedlander inherited his archive; it also mentions that Gedney drew attention from contemporaries including Walker Evans, Diane Arbus, and Friedlander. It also profiles painter Julie Mehretu (b. 1970), known for large-scale layered abstractions and recognized with a MacArthur Fellowship and an International Medal of Arts, and multidisciplinary artist Martine Gutierrez (b. 1989), whose self-published artist’s book “Indigenous Woman” (2018) examines representations of Indigenous, queer, and trans people.
