In 1984, the non-profit Tom of Finland Foundation was established by Durk Dehner and his friend Tom. As Tom of Finland had established worldwide recognition as the master of homo-erotic art, the Foundation's original purpose was to preserve his vast catalog of work. Several years later the scope was widened to offer a safe haven for all erotic art in response to rampant discrimination against art that portrayed sexual behavior or generated a sexual response. Today the Foundation continues in its efforts of educating the public as to the cultural merits of Queer art and in promoting healthier, more tolerant attitudes about sexuality.
