LESLIE/LOHMAN GAY ART FOUNDATION

To the noble, tender-hearted carepartners and caregivers of courageous people who have died of AIDS.

Yoshua Eyal is an Israeli born photographer who has lived in New York City since 1967. His decision to create the Two Roads exhibition followed the death at an early age, of Abraham Torres, his lover of eighteen years from AIDS. This exhibition of 23 color portraits is designed to honor all of those dealing with this challenging illness.
