“As gay artists whose works were unapologetically queer, Frangella and Wojnarowicz were seminal figures in the East Village art scene that developed in the early 1980s. Frangella, with the artistic education that Wojnarowicz lacked, easily filled the role of mentor by introducing David to new techniques and materials. In 1984, Frangella invited Wojnarowicz to his home country of Argentina, the same year the country transitioned from a tyrannical dictatorship back to a Democracy. Wojnarowicz found a tangible emotional difference between exhibiting in New York and Buenos Aires.” (Press Release for Desde New York: Luis Frangella & David Wojnarowicz, Hal Bromm Gallery, 2018)
