This new book is the definitive visual archive of Pietronigro\u2019s queer artwork and lived experience. It captures a deeply personal trajectory that began in 1977, driving cross-country in a blue Austin-Healey with his lover Jim Hilsinger, leaving Philadelphia behind for the electric promise of San Francisco.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Inside, readers will find decades of unapologetic, interdisciplinary art. The book serves as both a visual diary and a cultural artifact, vibrating with the energy of a city in the midst of a cultural revolution. Through high-fidelity, full-color reproductions, the collection recalls the sweat, liberation, and strobe lights of legendary spaces like the Trocadero Transfer, I-Beam, The EndUp, Dreamland, and The Stud between 1977 and 1984. Beyond the dance floor, the work delves into profound psychological landscapes. Exploring Jungian frameworks and the lifelong integration of the &#8220;Golden Shadow,&#8221; Pietronigro&#8217;s queer portfolio reveals an artist navigating identity, intimacy, and the power of the marginalized voice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>It is a grounding, essential counterpart to his aerospace legacy\u2014a celebration of love and human connection that beautifully contextualizes the artist who will one day rest at ground level in the San Francisco Columbarium, three niches down and three niches over from the Harvey Milk memorial, forever anchored in the community he helped define.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FRANK PIETRONIGRO: ARTIST MONOGRAPH THE LEGACY EDITION $375.00 &#8211; unsigned SIGNED ANTHOLOGIES DIRECT FROM THE ARTIST&#8217;S STUDIO Simply email for your signed copies: zerogartist@gmail.com This limited edition monograph chronicles Frank Pietronigro\u2019s radical evolution from traditional painter to an arts pioneer and Artronaut and first American artist to create &#8216;drift paintings&#8217; in zero gravity.
