Synopsis
In 1998, TASCHEN introduced the world to the masterful art of Touko Laaksonen with The Art of Pleasure. Prior to that, Laaksonen, better known as Tom of Finland, enjoyed an intense cult following in the international gay community but was largely unknown to a broader audience. In 2009, TASCHEN followed up with the ultimate Tom overview: Tom of Finland XXL, a beautiful big collector's edition with over 1,000 images, covering six decades of the artist's career. The work was gathered from collections across the United States and Europe with the help of the Tom of Finland Foundation, featuring many drawings, paintings, and sketches never previously reproduced. Other images had only been seen out of context and were finally presented in the sequential order Tom intended for full artistic appreciation and erotic impact. The elegant oversized volume showed the full range of Tom's talent, from sensitive portraits to frank sexual pleasure to tender expressions of love and haunting tributes to young men struck down by AIDS, and was completed by eight commissioned essays on Tom's social and personal impact by Camille Paglia, John Waters, Armistead Maupin, Todd Oldham, and others, plus a scholarly analysis of individual drawings by art historian Edward Lucie-Smith. The only thing missing from Tom of Finland XXL was a widely affordable price tag--until now. The new Tom of Finland XXL is still big enough to work your biceps, and includes all of the original content, but costs a fraction of the original price.

There was a slight mixup in what was advertised and what got received. When I mentioned a concern over the mixup. Seller was very quick and gracious in making things right. Would recommend doing business with this person in the future.

    Tom Rocks

    I got this book for myself . I've been a big fan of Touko since I was a teenager . You will not be disappointed with this book . The pictures look great .The book sleeve pulls out and turns into a display stand. Keep in mind its weight is at almost 10 pounds and the size is at 10 x 2 x 14

  • Tom of Finland is FUN

    Tom of Finland XXL - I’ve been waiting a long time since first published, finally decided to put the money down and buy it. Fantastic publication from Taschen! A note to potential buyers. A lot of the reading is English, Finnish, and other languages. But really - are you truly buying the book for the reading haha!!

  • An essential for fans of Tom

    For fans of TofF, this is the ultimate guide to his entire collection and span of talent. Coffee-table size presents images in "XXL" size. Definitely a collector's item.
