This outstanding collection of erotic drawings is understated on the outside while imaginatively limitless underneath. The Artist s passion for the absolute made her abstracting the form to its barest parameters without losing eloquence and lyricism.

The Erotic Object: Sexuality in Sculpture From Prehistory to the Present The power and eroticism of sculpture, form, volume and space are sensitively explored in this wide-ranging study, which takes in the history of sculpture from prehistoric times to contemporary art. Featuring discussions of many famous sculptors, including: Michelangelo Buonarroti, Antonio Canova, Auguste Rodin, Eric Gill, Andy Goldsworthy, Jasper Johns, Constantin Brancusi, Pablo Picasso, Barbara Hepworth and Gianlorenzo Bernini. Many contemporary artists are studied too, including installation and performance artists (Catherine Elwes, Karen Finley, Ana Mendieta, Carolee Schneemann), and women sculptors such as Alice Aycock, Mary Miss, Rebecca Horn, Nancy Graves, Eva Hesse, Kathe Kollwitz and Judy Chicago. Regardless of what sculpture depicts, it can be seen as erotic. The surfaces, materials and forms are sensuous: wood, stone, marble, granite, clay, bronze. Touching is pleasure. It is a pleasure that is, perhaps, pre-institutional, pre-industrial and pre-political. Touching cuts through socialand cultural constructs, such asart, ideology, education and war, and goes back to aprimeval form of being. At same time, touching is a sense of the both personal and societal. John Keats said, 'touch hasa memory'. Sculpture activates this fundamental relation with things. Sculpture renews contact with the simple but utterly crucial experiences such as touch, sight, and smell. Fully illustrated, with many rare and fascinating illustrations, including prints, paintings and buildings as well as sculptures and statues. This book has been revised and updated. ISBN 9781861714092. 296 pages. www.crmoon.com

Simply sexy: Richard Kern's gloriously natural girls Richard Kern likes real women: unpretentious, unadorned, and definitely undressed. Those who love Kern know each book is an invitation to join him in his privileged world where natural young women share their most intimate moments. Richard has never lost his boyish curiosity with girls and their secrets, so instead of posing them in sterile sets he follows them through the house?or rather his New York apartment?from backyard to kitchen to bathroom to bedroom, capturing every sexy and embarrassing moment. Action is his most revealing book yet. For 280 pages we careen through the life of Kern, accompanied by dozens of energetic, fun-loving, clothes-dropping exhibitionists. ?Young women want to show the world they?re not like their man-hating women's lib mothers, ? a Kern model once told me, and these girls certainly get the point across. To further assist the young ladies in their rebellion, the book includes an hour-long DVD of original Kern film with an exclusive musical score by Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth. Way to stick it to the Mom, ladies! And thank you, Richard, you lucky dog. - Dian Hanson The artist: Richard Kern was born in North Carolina in 1954 and has lived and worked in New York City since 1979. In the ?80s, he produced a series of short films that now are recognized as the central works of the movement known as the Cinema of Transgression. In the ?90s he switched to still photography full time and occasionally directed music videos for bands including Sonic Youth and Marilyn Manson. Kern has published nine books and is a regular contributor to a variety of international publications.
"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. 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.
Text in English, French, German & Japanese. Beauty and Eros lead toward each other and simultaneously enhance the fairy-like charisma of Murata's "princesses", whose exposed vulvas gleam unabashedly. These licentious reveries will awaken the dormant fairy qualities of the damsels and transform them into nymphomaniac "princesses".
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.

It's the thrilling combination of shapely physical landscapes and hot close-ups that make every page of this diverse book of erotic photographs a continual sensual pleasure, full of surprises.
Text in English, French & German. Uwe Dupke, born 1952, lives in Andalusia, Spain and just outside Cologne Germany; he has been a professional photographer since 1970, and specialises in people and erotic nudes. He believes that honest and passionate images can only be created if the models are fully integrated into the design process. In addition to the selection of area and location, this also includes the choice of outfits and make-up. A new trend has emerged, as fifty percent of models want to be in fetish and bondage shots. Together with the models, various fetish clubs, bondage apartments, special hotels and swinger clubs are then selected together as locations. The job of the photographer is to capture the erotic fantasies of the models, as well as any developments that happen spontaneously during the session itself. This procedure means that at the beginning of a session, it is often unclear which technology is going to be used. As a rule, the 60 megapixel Hasselblad is used for medium format shots, and for a rapid series of exposures, Canons professional cameras. For pronounced lighting effects, Uwe Dupke always uses a gallows. Fetishism: is this fantasy or reality? Wow! This is exciting, sweaty, sexy photography! |
