The censored version remained the only version available to the reading public until 2011, when Harvard University Press released the The Uncensored Picture of Dorian Gray; fully restored to the author's original vision, including the scenes of graphic homosexual content that the editors, fearing the wrath of offended Victorians, expunged.

It can be found (for a surprisingly low price) at Amazon (US), and at Barnes & Noble, and at De Gruyter.
Glancing at wiki, it looks like there were three versions? An 1890 version, a longer 1891 version, and the 2011 version?
