The Sword of Damocles: Selections from the Frank Moore Archive is a group exhibition of paintings presenting a range of work from twelve mid-career artists, who are also long-term survivors living with HIV. As we mark 30 years of AIDS, The Sword of Damocles contemplates the pandemic as seen through the transformation of these artists’ work over time. A full color catalog of the exhibition is available during the exhibition or download the pdf here.
