See familiar and important works with a queer-eye that helps you better understand the inspirations, relationships, and deeper meanings of those artists and their work. One of the many surprising things you'll learn duirng the tour:The Grandfather of the Clark Dynasty, Alfred Clark (1844-1896), although married with four sons, had long led a double life, spending his summers in Europe with the love of his life, Norwegian tenor Lorentz Skougaard, from 1866 until Skougaard’s death in 1885 (Clark kept an apartment for Skougaard on West 22nd Street in Manhattan near the Clark Mansion). After Lorentz's death, a bereft Clark commissioned a memorial sculpture for Skougaard’s grave in Norway from the famous sculptor George Grey Barnard on whom Clark had an apparently unrequited crush. Clark’s biographer Nicolas Weber describes Barnard’s homoerotic “Brotherly Love” sculpture as “two muscular, athletic, naked men – in the vein of Michelangelo’s greatest slave figures.” A copy of that sculpture is prominently on display at the Clark Art Institute (the original is still on the grave of Lorentz Skougaard in Norway).OPTIONAL AFTER-TOUR LUNCH: After the tour please have lunch with us in the delicious cafe downstairs in the new Clark building. This is a great opportunity to meet other queer art lovers from all over the region.CARPOOLING/RIDE-SHARE: Carpooling is a great way to get to know other men, save money on gas, and help to reduce your carbon footprint and save the planet.
