Rob Meijer was with his Amsterdam leather store Rob, one of Europe’s pioneering specialists in leather and fetish craftsmanship.
With the adjoining RoB Gallery, he was a champion of gay emancipation in the Netherlands, including during the HIV/AIDS crisis. The gallery hosted exhibitions by visual artists specializing in male erotic art.
ICONS OF DESIRE brings the legendary work of Tom of Finland back to Amsterdam through a unique collaboration between RoB Gallery and the Tom of Finland Foundation, celebrating queer art, desire, and cultural history.
