In 1975, Tom Bianchi moved to New York City and took a job as
in-house counsel at Columbia Pictures. That first year Tom was
given a Polaroid SX - 70 camera by Columbia Pictures at a corporate
conference. He took that camera to the Pines on summer weekends,
those pictures became the book Fire Island Pines, Polaroids 1975 -
1983 published in 2013. Now, some 44 years later, we finally get a
first look at another extraordinary collection of Polaroids by Tom
taken in his NYC apartment at 63 East 9th Street. Whereas Fire
Island is an expansive communal experience happening on a sunny
sand bar outside of the city under huge open skies, Tom's New York
apartment was an intimate track-lit den, a safe stage where he and
his friends invited each other to play out their erotic night
games. Tom's New York City Polaroids take us behind the closed door
of his apartment, "Back then we were in the early days of a
revolution that seemed inevitably headed to a more loving, playful
and tolerant way of being. We were innocents", Bianchi recalls.
This is an essential companion book to Fire Island Pines and an
important document of urban gay life.
