In 1998, TASCHEN introduced the world to the masterful art of Touko
Laaksonen with The Art of Pleasure. Prior to that, Laaksonen,
better known as Tom of Finland, enjoyed an intense cult following
in the international gay community but was largely unknown to a
broader audience. In 2009, TASCHEN followed up with the ultimate
Tom overview: Tom of Finland XXL, a beautiful big collector's
edition with over 1,000 images, covering six decades of the
artist's career. The work was gathered from collections across the
United States and Europe with the help of the Tom of Finland
Foundation, featuring many drawings, paintings, and sketches never
previously reproduced. Other images had only been seen out of
context and were finally presented in the sequential order Tom
intended for full artistic appreciation and erotic impact. The
elegant oversized volume showed the full range of Tom's talent,
from sensitive portraits to frank sexual pleasure to tender
expressions of love and haunting tributes to young men struck down
by AIDS, and was completed by eight commissioned essays on Tom's
social and personal impact by Camille Paglia, John Waters,
Armistead Maupin, Todd Oldham, and others, plus a scholarly
analysis of individual drawings by art historian Edward
Lucie-Smith. The only thing missing from Tom of Finland XXL was a
widely affordable price tag-until now. The new Tom of Finland XXL
is still big enough to work your biceps, and includes all of the
original content, but costs a fraction of the original price.
You're welcome.
Charley Harper was an American original. For more than six decades
he painted colorful and graphic illustrations of nature, animals,
insects and people alike, from his home studio in Cincinnati, Ohio,
until he passed away in 2007, at the age of 84. Renowned New
York-based designer Todd Oldham rediscovered Charley's work in
2001, and collaborated closely with him in the ensuing years;
combing through his extensive archive to edit and design this
stunning monograph. This new mini edition is a popularly priced,
beautiful tribute to Charley Harper's singular style, which he
referred to as Minimal Realism.
This oversized, chunky board book - made for adults - celebrates
