Portrait of the Artist as a Unicorn included in We Fancy at the Art Students League of New York

This exhibition celebrates LGBTQIA+ artists at the League, including Chitra Ganesh, Judith Godwin, Robert Rauschenberg, Emilio Sanchez, and Cy Twombly. Over the decades, they have played a unique role in laying the foundation for the acceptance and popularization of queer aesthetics. Today, their works continue to echo the vastness of the queer experience within and beyond the League.

The exhibition features a site-specific commissioned work by Chicago based artist and former League student Ajmal MAS MAN Millar.
