This is a glimpse through the keyhole of history. From the earliest
nude daguerrotypes to experimental nude photography. The history of
nude photography is the history of people's fascination with the
topic. Indeed, the photographic depiction of the human body is the
only subject that has enthralled photographers, theoreticians and
consumers over such a long period - more than 150 years. No other
motifis as prevalent as this one during all the phases of
development comprising the history of photography. no other is
present. whatever the technique, and is a subject of discussion
within the context of nearly all aesthetic movements. Nor has any
other pictorial topic produced such a variety of specialities as
the nude: from the ethnological interpretation of the body to the
glamour shot, from nudist photography to the pin-up of today. No
other photographic field of application has inspired as much desire
as it has awakened official wrath. 1000 Nudes offers a
cross-section of the history of nude photography, ranging from the
earliest nude daguerrotypes and ethnographic nude photographs to
experimental nude photography. The period of time spanned by this
work is from 1839 to roughly 1939, from the medium's infancy to the
end of the classic modernist period. Content-wise, the book pays
tribute to the full range of pictorial approaches, from the
manually elaborated artistic nudes of the turn of the century,
enveloped in layers of theory. to the "obscene" postcard motifs
which had not the slightest artistic pretension and were intended
to exert a maximum effect on the buyer's wallet. All the pictures
shown are taken from the late Uwe Scheid's collection, which was
one of the world's largest and most important collections of erotic
photography.
Oliver Rath's photographs range from spontaneous shots to
conceptual work. Since 2010 he has been living in Berlin and so
"Berlin Boheme" is the title of his first book. The work contains a
scintillating display of dynamic, provocative eroticism with a dash
of humour. His blog publishes new work every day, showing all the
facets of our daily lives, more often than not a little "over the
top". As Page 2011, the design magazine puts it: "The photographs
look like stills from movie scenes, with carefully organised
choreography, props and actors".
Grenzwall der Erotik Sabrina und Maja, zwei junge Frauen mit
extravaganten Erotik-Fantasien, treffen in kurzem Abstand auf einen
Forest Ranger, dessen Jagdschuppen der ideale Ort zum Ausleben
ihrer Geluste zu sein scheint. Es entwickelt sich spontan ein
Dreiecksverhaltnis. Sydney nimmt sich der beiden mit grosser
Leidenschaft an und beschert ihnen in seinem Schuppen ein Feuerwerk
der Fantasien. Gleichzeitig versucht er, die mit den bizarren
Gelusten einhergehenden Angste der Frauen zu bekampfen, denn beide
erzeugen in ihm Gefuhle, die weit uber sexuelle Lust hinausgehen.
Er will sie vor den Gefahren der Welt beschutzen. Grenzwall der
Erotik beschreibt alle Fassetten der Sexualitat, bis hinein in die
Schattenbereiche
Text in English, French & German. How beautiful are these
pilose vulvas that are natural and hairy and not shaven bald. I
feel happy whenever I see something beautiful. Many past cultures
worshipped vulvas. And its no small wonder that today, vulvas have
started again to unfold their magical charms, at least within the
world of fine art. So it is that Paramonov's angels appear
unashamed of their hairiness, act rather proud of their unshaven,
natural beauty.

The declaration that a work of art is "about sex" is often
announced to the public as a scandal after which there is nothing
else to say about the work or the artist-controversy concludes a
conversation when instead it should begin a new one.
Moving beyond debates about pornography and censorship, Jennifer
Doyle shows us that sex in art is as diverse as sex in everyday
life: exciting, ordinary, emotional, traumatic, embarrassing,
funny, even profoundly boring. "Sex Objects" examines the reception
and frequent misunderstanding of highly sexualized images, words,
and performances. In chapters on the "boring parts" of "Moby-Dick,"
the scandals that dogged the painter Thomas Eakins, the role of
women in Andy Warhol's Factory films, "bad sex" and Tracey Emin's
crudely evocative line drawings, and L.A. artist Vaginal Davis's
pornographic parodies of Vanessa Beecroft's performances, "Sex
Objects" challenges simplistic readings of sexualized art and
instead investigates what such works can tell us about the nature
of desire.
In "Sex Objects, "Doyle offers a creative and original exploration
of how and where art and sex connect, arguing that to proclaim a
piece of art "about sex" reveals surprisingly little about the
work, the artist, or the spectator. Deftly interweaving anecdotal
and personal writing with critical, feminist, and queer theory, she
reimagines the relationship between sex and art in order to better
understand how the two meet-and why it matters.
Jennifer Doyle is associate professor of English at the University
of California, Riverside. She is coeditor, with Jonathan Flatley
and Jose Esteban Munoz, of "Pop Out: Queer Warhol."
"Clarke teaches us to think about how this art was understood and
felt by those who lived with it in their daily lives and he
speculates that it might even reflect what the Romans actually did.
This is the first genuinely contextual and theoretically informed
study we have of a vast panoply of classical art about sex. It will
be an illuminating book for classicists, historians, and anybody
else who finds lovemaking interesting."--Thomas Laqueur, author of
"Making Sex
"There are few scholars as able to take on this material, as
well versed in theories of sexuality, and as comfortable dealing
with both heterosexual and homoerotic content as Clarke. The topic
is timely and the execution is professional."--Natalie Kampen,
Barnard College
"This book should attract not only classicists, but also
scholars of sexuality in any field. Clarke succeeds both in
introducing little-known material and in defamiliarizing the
familiar examples of erotic art."--Anthony Corbeill, University of
Kansas
""Looking at Lovemaking proves that the ancients were very
different from you and me--that they saw sex not primarily as
procreation and never as sin but rather as sport, art, and
pleasure, an activity full of humor, tenderness and above all
variety. John R. Clarke, by looking at Roman artifacts from several
centuries destined to be used by different social classes, reveals
that the erotic "visual record is far more varied, open-minded and
playful than are "written moral strictures, which were narrowly
formulated by the elite and for the elite. This book is at once
discreet and bold--discreetly respectful of nuance and context,
boldly clear in drawing the widest possible conclusions about
themalleability of human behavior. Clarke has, with meticulous
scholarship and a fresh approach, vindicated Foucault's
revolutionary claims for the social construction of
sexuality."--Edmund White, author of "The Beautiful Room is
Empty
Text in English, French & German. "Some girls can hold their
pee forever like camels! I've never been one of them. If I go
somewhere where toilets are nigh impossible to find, I can get
downright naughty with my wees these days, even in the middle of a
road." -- Faye, 20 years
Text in English, French & German. German born Frank Waldecker
took his first pictures at the age of 12. Later he studied graphic
design and worked in this capacity for publishing houses in Hamburg
and Munich. In 1989 while visiting Brazil, he fell in love with the
country and people. He now lives in Rio de Janeiro four months of
the year. Frank has been shooting male models since 2001, and
thanks to their natural sensuality, Brazilian models are his
favourite subjects. His first calendar Beachboys was published 2003
and since then more than 20 others published internationally
featuring his photos. In Brazil Frank works with the best model
agencies on fashion shoots and lifestyle photos for a range of
clients. Besides postcards, calendars and books, his work has been
published in international magazines such as "Cosmopolitan" and
"Glamour". As early as 1962, Antonio Carlos Jobim and Vinicius de
Moraes had an international hit with the song "The Girl from
Ipanema". This paid homage to the sensuality and beauty of
Brazilian women, especially those from Ipanema, the legendary area
of Rio de Janeiro. Even today, there are more attractive men and
women in Ipanema than at any other beach in Brazil. However, while
Brazilian women have always had plenty of attention, the male of
the species has been neglected by the photographers lens. High
time, then, to let the Latin lovers from Brazil into the picture.
Between 2001 and 2009 I photographed an incredible variety of men
in and around Rio. There, people love to show off their bodies, and
work hard to keep them in good shape. Total nudity is, however,
taboo in Brazil. People are aware that leaving on the last shred of
clothing stimulates the imagination, and has a far more erotic
effect than showing off all your assets. Many of my photographs
communicate emotion, charm and sensuality, but not only that. They
also reveal "alegria" or joy of life, a quality unique to the
Brazilians and their way of life.
Text in English & German. Of course, my photography is a
"turn-on", a sort of Viagra, because, lets face it, it is extremely
exciting for a man to view young girls in provocative poses. The
aspects of forbidden love, past memories, ones first love, all this
and related fantasies are triggered by these very young girls, who
attract them like a magnet. Suspend your judgement of them while
looking, because in each of them there is an unbridled, hidden
sexual desire. Ordinary photographs can make extraordinary,
sensational impressions. While revelling in the land of the
forbidden, I wish the photos inspire you to have beautiful
fantasies.
