UNDERWEAR THE FASHION HISTORY Underwear the Fashion History by Alison Carter presents the history of the undergarment from modesty and vanity to titillation and arousal. The concept of wearing fabric to protect our intimate parts came around 5000 BC with cavemen and ancient Egyptians. In Austria, around 1991, archaeologists found in Egyptian tombs extra supplies of linen loincloths, some that indicated dignity, and in royalty cases, were believed to sustain Pharaohs and Queens to the afterlife. This book begins in the 1400's and brings us to the present. Drama Pub, 1992. Out of Print. Condition: Very Fine....More. Item Code: RB9375 Soft Cover, 9 x 11, 162pg, Partial Color $60.00 |

BETTINA RHEIMS A Room in the Museum of Modern Art in Frankfurt By Bettina Rheims. Bettina Rheims A Room in the Museum of Modern Art in Frankfurt. Famous women - singers and models such as Madonna and Karen Mulder - and anonymous "beauties" pose in provocative outfits, semi-clad or naked in hotel rooms. Chambre Close and Pourquoi m'as-tu abandonnee are being shown for the first time in large format in the Museum of Art in Frankfurt/Main. For a moment it seems as if we are looking through the eyes of a male voyeur. But when we look closer, it becomes clear that we are witnessing a dialogue between women. Women from completely different backgrounds - from an employee of the electricity company to a black police inspector - pursue their own erotic fantasies in hotel rooms, observed by Bettina Rheims, a photographer whose viewpoint at the decisive moment is most definitely not male. But this is not as obvious as it seems, for in spite of the frankness of the photographs, they need to be studied with a great deal of attention. Text in English and French. Gina Kehayoff, 2000.

CHAMBRE CLOSE By Bettina Rheims & Sergey Bramly. The artistic collaboration of photographer Bettina Rheims and writer/art critic Serge Bramly began in 1991 with Chambre Close, which Schirmer/Mosel is publishing for the first time. It lives off the stimulating contrast between text and images. The cultivated literary tone of Monsieur X's fictional "confessions" is set against photographs that speak a far clearer language. Bettina Rheims has a command of this language, which tells of female eroticism and exhibitionism as no one else does. Gina Kehayoff, 1999. Out of Print. Condition: Very Fine. New in shrink wrap.

DIANA SCHEUNEMANN By Diana Scheunemann. Photographer Diana Scheunemann has shot high-fashion advertising with gorgeous, statuesque models and she has shot sexually frank pictures of her friends but, here's the real artistry: she manages to pull it off so that a sense of play rather than envy or lust or exploitation is paramount. Scheunemann is not interested in the mopey model pout. Her subjects enjoy their romps in the buff, clearly at ease with her camera. The sex is real but hardly titillating. Her work resembles a more polished version of her fellow countryman Wolfgang Tillmans's photographs of his friends, which are spontaneous, open and real. This book is part of the new series called Damiani Forward, focusing on new, up and coming photographers. Diamiani, 2005. Condition: Very Fine. Adult Material....More.

INTIM GERMAN EDITION Text in German. By Uwe Kempen. Daring, erotic, witty, provocative-Uwe Kempen knows how to play with the viewers' expectations, how to lead them along in sometimes irritating ways, how to surprise them anew with every picture. Instead of working in perfectly illuminated studios, he chose to stage his models directly in our everyday world. His models are part of our environment. We cannot escape their tempting presence because they are part of our surroundings. Their nudity in our normal world creates and exciting tension which the photographer translates into a wide range of thrilling, erotic emotions. Uwe Kempen likes to play with the feelings and intimate fantasies of the viewer and of the models who enjoy the game of being staged and photographed. Kempen's models are a metaphor for the sensuous element in our everyday surroundings, for the erotic element in our lives. If we are receptive of this natural eroticism, it will always be there to enrich our lives with its sensuality, excitement, and its very special thrill. Uwe Kempen was born in 1960. He lives and works in Berlin. In 1982 and 1986 he won the award for young photography at the Photokina Cologne. His first photography exhibition took place in 1990 in Krefeld. In 1996 he exposed his erotic work for the first time Cologne. Edition Braus, 2000. Condition: Very Fine. Adult Material. ...More.

Every midnight tribe is here —— hippies, punks, ravers, goths, teds, mods and every pretty boy and dirty girl in between, shot in situ in their un-natural habitat.

SYLVIE BLUM NUDES SLIPCASE Sylvie Blum Nudes was shot during photo sessions in Miami, Los Angeles, on the island of Majorca, and in Berlin. The vision of beautiful, naked, and self-confident women was at the heart of this project, realized by an exceptional photographer. Sylvie Blum staged pictures in the shade of Hollywood that-not least of all-reflect the worship of beauty and narcissism. Her Californian outdoor photographs consciously make use of traditional clichés of eternal beauty. The photographer equally draws her inspiration from the desert, from the Moloch of the big city, from the endlessness of the Pacific Ocean, and from the cool architecture of Palm Beach or Beverly Hills. The sober grace of a factory building, the Mediterranean atmosphere of a "finca," a Berlin courtyard full of graffiti-they all are her sources of inspiration. Slipcase. 6x6.com, 2004.

UWE KEMPEN NO FACE SLIPCASE No Face is the third important publication by Uwe Kempen, following Voyeur and Intim. Kempen's new book bears witness to an increasingly abstract tendency in Kempen's work. This innovation is due to the use of a special film-capable of showing the finest graphic details-and to a new studio technique-giving the work it's technical perfection. Thematically, No Face does not, as the title might suggest, treat the female models as pure objects but offers many different interpretations and associations. Views of the skin, close-ups, piercings, tattoos, and other details, such as the pattern of fishnet stockings, suggest forms that are often floral (exemplified by the series "Flowers"). Through the experimental use of light and a direct focus on the motif, the pictures have a light and direct character. Slipcase. 6x6.com, 2006. Condition: Very Fine. Adult Material. ...More.

WOMAN Woman, By China Hamilton, is a superbly produced collector's volume of erotic fine art, consists of eighty breathtaking, handmade prints, each with the air of mystery and intrigue that are the hallmark of photographer China Hamilton's distinctive style. The book's representations of woman's essence are alternately gentle, curious, and confrontational as Hamilton offers a compelling insight into the forces binding together the female form and erotic art. This collection - drawn from ten years' work - reflects the artist's fascination with the intrinsic beauty of women and the kaleidoscopic range of their contrasting emotions. Ranging from soft and gentle images to darker explorations of their erotic soul, Woman is a creative journey of wonder, revelation, and obsession. Hamilton, as much an artist in the darkroom as he is behind the camera, brings together some of his finest work in a beautiful volume which will be irresistible to the connoisseur of photography or erotic art.

THE ADVENTURES OF SWEET GWENDOLINE Slipcase Numbered Numbered 243/300. In slipcase. First Printing. By John Willie. The Adventures of Sweet Gwendoline is a tribute to John Alexander Scott Coutts (1902-1962), a.k.a. John Willie, and his popular underground heroine! Willie still stands as the finest bondage artist ever and his stories of Sweet Gwen are classics, first published in rarely-seen specialty magazines of the late 1940s and early ‘50s. Included are complete Gwendoline stories in ink and wash, as our poor girl gets tied up, gagged, put into a tight corset, and far more, often by dominating women and even by her own friend, a leather-clad secret agent. Willie’s work nearly always had an innocence of sorts as it’s never violent or truly threatening. Gwendoline’s naiveté is both sweet and erotic, as she submits to one domination after another. There is a 16 page color section at the end of the book plus and extra set included in the slipcase. Belier, 1974. Condition: Fine Plus. Cloth slipcase has small tear on the bottom....More.

TWO ILLUSTRATED BOOKS FROM THE EROTIC PRINT SOCIETY Two "Illustrated" books from the Erotic Print Society: The Illustrated Book of 'Country Matter" A Discursive History of the Female Sex by Oliver Maitland. In broad cultural terms, a gynaecological vision of the female parts is perfectly legitimate.

Dealing with the delights of couplings elsewhere than the conventional bed. A charming book, suitable as a token of erotic regard between light-hearted couples, and not without its minor insights.
