World of Wonder’s Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato to Be Honored at Tom of Finland Art & Culture Festival
World of Wonder’s Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato will be honored at Tom of Finland Art & Culture Festival 2024 in Los Angeles on Dec. 1.
Billed as the world’s largest erotic art fair, the festival kicks off Nov. 29 at the Hotel Indigo Los Angeles Downtown and will feature more than 30 artists, galleries and vendors. Sponsored by Diesel, the festival program includes conversations with artists, demonstrations and other activations as well as a sneak peek at the feature-length documentary, “House of Leather,” with director Jamison Rockmore. Started in 1984 to promote the art of Tom of Finland (born Touko Valio Laaksonen), the Finnish artist known for his hypersexualized imagery of men with bulging muscles clad in leather and fetish gear, the foundation is housed in a 3,000-square-foot Craftsman in Echo Park.
