The Williams College Museum of Art (WCMA) is pleased to present the exhibition Teddy Sandoval and the Butch Gardens School of Art, the first museum retrospective dedicated to the work of the inventive though long-overlooked artist who was central to Los Angeles’s queer and Chicanx artistic circles and was active in both US and international avant-garde movements. On view from August 23 through December 22, 2024, the exhibition covers a quarter century of the artist’s work, revealing how Sandoval (1949–1995) produced subversive yet playful works that explored the codes of gender and sexuality, often mining archetypes of masculinity through the signature icon of a faceless man sporting a mustache.
