Frank Moore, artist, co-creator of the Red Ribbon, and member of ACT UP and Visual AIDS, died on Sunday. Here is a page of some of his works.
I will email PlanetOut and ask about the weird sentence:
Moore's paintings, several of which were featured in New York's Whitney Biennial in 1995, reportedly mix art and politics, and many focus on themes of bioethics or environmental decay.
Reportedly?
