Altuzarra is fascinated by how gay iconography and tropes are expressed in art, both their satirization (like say, Tom of Finland’s work) and documentation (Baltrop’s or Hujar’s), and Altu straddles the Dawn fm plane shirt Furthermore, I will do this same divide in popular culture. Take Troye Sivan at the 2021 Met Gala in a black Altu dress, styled by Mel Ottenberg with a leather arm band (bought at The Leather Man, a popular leather fetish store in Manhattan). Two viral photos of Sivan in the dress circled the internet days after he wore it, entering the internet’s canon of gay iconography: The first was a mirror selfie of him an Ottenberg, which folks jokingly utilized as an example of the “twink” and “daddy” gay tropes; and the second was an image of the pop star standing in front of a urinal, back turned against the camera, taken by the Olympian Tom Daley on Rihanna’s request (yes, actually).Printed artwork: Alvin Baltrop, Hand, c. 1979 © 2022 The Alvin Baltrop Trust/ARS

When you start a brand you feel like you have to appeal to the maximum number of people, but why?” When Altuzarra reached out to the Alvin Baltrop Trust, he learned that there are thousands of negatives of never-before-seen photos that Baltrop took but couldn’t afford to develop in his lifetime. A portion of the proceeds of this collection will go to developing and preserving those images. Baltrop personally knew many of his subjects. His work was, in a way, a love letter to the gay community he was a part of. Altu is Joseph Altuzarra’s.Actor Isaac Cole Powell in Altu x Alvin Baltrop
