The explanation of the exibit:
" 'Hide/Seek' considers such themes as the role of sexual difference in depicting modern America; how artists explored the fluidity of sexuality and gender; how major themes in modern art—especially abstraction—were influenced by social marginalization; and how art reflected society’s evolving and changing attitudes toward sexuality, desire, and romantic attachment. “Hide/Seek” considers such themes as the role of sexual difference in depicting modern America; how artists explored the fluidity of sexuality and gender; how major themes in modern art—especially abstraction—were influenced by social marginalization; and how art reflected society’s evolving and changing attitudes toward sexuality, desire, and romantic attachment."
The phrase above, " the fluidity of sexuality and gender" explains the gender combinations of many of the donating couples.
Also the closing in the list of donors is what started this whole wasted topic: "This exhibition is supported by an indemnity from the Federal Council on the Arts and the Humanities."
