"""Queer Art is a brilliant accomplishment for Gemma Rolls-Bentley... a testament to the transformative potential of art in challenging norms and fostering inclusivity."" --Catherine Opie ""Queer Art is a testament to the profound impact of art and culture and the resilience of the human spirit, and will undoubtedly resonate with readers of all backgrounds and identities. This book is not just for the LGBTQIA+ community; it is for anyone who believes in the power of art to transcend boundaries, foster empathy, and ignite change."" --Sir Isaac Julien, RA ""We love and strongly recommend this beautifully curated book. Celebrating the massive and lasting global impact of LGBTQI+ artists, a book like this is long overdue!"" --Russell Tovey & Robert Diament, Talk Art Podcast ""Shazam! And just like that - trans tokenism no longer has a place in queer art history. Finally a book that celebrates the creative contributions of trans, non-binary and gender non-conforming artists."" --E-J Scott, Founder of the Museum of Transology"
