BRUCE BELLASBRUCE OF LOS ANGELES: INSIDE/ OUTSIDE An icon of gay art and one of the most famous names in physique photography, Bruce Bellas aka Bruce of Los Angeles is remembered today as a pioneer of beefcake. Beginning in the 1940s and continuing until his death in 1974, Bellas photographed some of the most important figures in the world of physical culture: bodybuilders Steve Reeves, Bob McCune, and George Eiferman, and models Joe Dallesandro, Mark Nixon, and Brian Idol are just a few of the countless strapping males captured by Bellas’ lens. The man who came to be known as Bruce of Los Angeles crafted a refined, masterful aesthetic of erotica, whose influence would later surface in the work of Robert Mapplethorpe, Herb Ritts, Bruce Weber, and many others. Collected in Bruce of Los Angeles: Inside/Outside are Bellas’ rare photographs and films, as they have never been seen before. The volume comprises over 100 full-color images, all masterfully restored from the original color negatives. 
Bruce Bellas (1909-1974) was born in Alliance, Nebraska and was a chemistry
teacher before taking up photography. He set out on road trips through
America’s heartland, photographing farmhands, athletes, soldiers, and
sailors along the way, and eventually made his way to California, where
he began shooting bodybuilding contests all along the coast. As his career
blossomed, he branched out into color work, 8mm films, and 3-D slides,
and by the 1960s had succeeded in publishing his own magazine, The Male
Figure. He died in 1974, leaving behind one of the most comprehensive
photo archives of the time. This book, published in an edition limited
to 2500 copies, is contained in a slipcase, and includes a DVD of twelve
digitally remastered films. Full color. (pp 232), large format, hard cover

EXTERFACETHE THING HE LOVES Inspired by advertising, by desire and by life itself, Exterface is a pair of artists who create sexually charged frescos – homoerotic, kitschy and rife with discrepancies. Intoxicatingly heady scenes, fascinating in their complexity, are bathed in sultry colors, so superlative in their execution that it is impossible to imagine anything more vivid. With Exterface’s first photo book, The Thing He Loves, it is not the individual images themselves that will impress you the most, but rather the intelligent way the photographs are composed into series. 
The images may appear at times unreal and artificial, but they speak to
our innermost desires. The models present themselves as in a peepshow,
close and yet vulnerable, just out of reach, making for surprisingly sensual
photography. Exterface is the artist duo Julien and Stéphane.
The dedication both 23-year-old Frenchmen bring to their work has garnered
them numerous photo spreads in European publications. Their unmistakable
style and secure grasp of visual composition make them a rare occurrence
in the arena of erotic photography. They shoot the photographs, stage the
scenes, direct the action and even adorn their images with their own original
artwork. Full color. (pp 80), paper, 16,95 |

DIAN HANSON (Ed.)THE BIG PENIS BOOK When it comes to pleasure, size doesn’t matter; as we all know it is quality, not quantity, that counts. But let’s admit it: a big penis is undeniably compelling. Big shoulders, big lapels, and big hair may come and go, but the big penis never goes out of fashion.

up less than two percent of the world’s population, this rare accessory
will always fascinate. In The Big Penis Book Dian Hanson explores
the centuries-old fascination with the large phallus, a fascination common
to men and women alike. This hefty book is profusely illustrated with
over 400 historic photos of spectacular male endowments, including rare
photos of the legendary John Holmes. The majority of the photographs are
from the 1970s, when the sexual revolution first freed photographers to
depict the male entirely nude. 
Photographers include Bob Mizer of Athletic Model Guild, David Hurles
of Old Reliable, Colt, Falcon, Sierra Domino, Third World, and Champion
Studios, with each of these iconic photographers interviewed or profiled,
along with information about each of their models. And if this isn’t
enough, the book closes with a special surprise! (pp 384), large format,

SLAVA MOGUTINNYC GO-GO Slava Mogutin, the notorious Russian dissident-turned-art-star and creator of the critically acclaimed Lost Boys, returns with his second monograph, NYC Go-Go, a tribute to the golden age of New York City nightlife. The once-glittering club world had all but disappeared by the time Mogutin arrived in America in the mid-1990s. Under Mayor Rudy Giuliani's controversial “Quality of Life” campaign, downtown clubs paid the ultimate price: owners were branded community pariahs and paid crippling fines for alleged disruptiveness, while others were prosecuted for criminal acts; many legendary night spots were wiped off the map altogether. In his new book, Mogutin documents the ever-shrinking downtown gay scene, taking us inside remaining joints like the Cock, Boysroom, and Mr. Black. NYC Go-Go is a wild and raunchy journey into the decaying but utterly decadent underworld of hustlers and go-go boys. Some of them are “rough trade” - thugs with criminal pasts, busted for prostitution, drugs, or armed assault - while others are “gay for pay,” married with kids and hustling for their families; most are Mogutin's friends. NYC Go-Go captures the spirit of a scene under fire with Mogutin's trademark raw, in-your-face style. (pp 220), hard cover, 35,00 |

ADAM RAPHAELBARELY WORKING Adam Raphael, photographer of the widely praised Room Service, offers a delicious collection of young men in his newest book, Barely Working. Once again documenting a racially diverse group of the finest faces and bodies, Raphael has captured his models in various working situations including auto repair, car washing, landscaping, and other similar settings. Of course work soon gives way to play, and the unique combination of laughter, competition, and youthful energy converges to create a sensual tension that can only be created by a photographer who has the skill and talent to work closely with his models without ever overshadowing or crowding them. “In Barely Working,” says Reed Massengill, “pipe wrenches and earth-moving equipment are handled with grace and ease by Raphael's young men, who practically throb with visceral friendliness and 'aw shucks' charm while possessing a humanity that makes them irresistibly appealing.” (pp) 112, hard cover with dust jacket, 39,95 |

DYLAN ROSSERX-POSED Dylan Rosser focuses on the purity and sensuality of the male form, often showing not much more than a smooth, sexy male body using light and shadow to accentuate the athletic curves and shapes of the models. The key idea of X-Posed is to keep it all nude, because as soon as items of clothing are added, one inevitably ends up with a dated image. Rosser's aim, however, is the timeless and classic. X-Posed is an incredible volume of photographic artistry, featuring magnificent images of incredibly sexy men. Full color. (pp 144), hard cover with dust jacket, 43,95 |

ITALO ZANNIER (Ed.)WILHELM VON GLOEDEN - FOTOGRAFIE: NUDI, PAESAGGI E SCENE DI GENERE The young Wilhelm von Gloeden (barely twenty-two) arrived in Taormina in 1878 after pausing in Naples. He immediately became involved in photography, apparently also for economic reasons, but above all because this new medium fascinated him (his prophetic stepfather had given him a camera!). He had a “tourist” desire to capture in images the mythical landscape he saw from the terrace of the house, first towards Vesuvius and then towards Etna; the volcanoes on one side and the sea on the other as well as the Sun of the South, which photography insisted on. In the beginning his preferred, and almost most obvious, subjects were panoramas and street scenes, as well as the local professions, taken primarily as “souvernir” documents. Von Gloeden’s reputation, however, rests on his more daring work, that of the nudes. Wilhelm von Gloeden seems to have passionately practiced two activities at the same time: one was public, with landscapes and folkloristic scenes, the other apparently clandestine as an amateur photographer and a proclaimed homosexual. Text in Italian and English. 150 photographs. (pp 192), deluxe paperback, large format, 49,95 Click here for an illustrated review. |
