Archive of 31 Kinbaku Photographs and 2 Typed Letters Signed, Supplied to Jurgen Boedt for Secret Magazine, Fetish Photo Anthology, and Extreme
AU$2,500.00 Read MoreAdd to cartMaster K
Los Angeles: Master K, 1999-2002.Archive of kinbaku photographs supplied by Master K to Jurgen Boedt, editor and publisher of the Belgian fetish magazine Secret, accompanied by two signed letters detailing their intended editorial use. The first letter accompanied twelve black-and-white photographs (“Each is an illustration of classical shibari”) and a printed copy of his article ‘A Brief History of Shibari,’ subsequently published in Secret #20 (also included with this lot). It includes an authorial biography and acknowledges collaborators by name: “Although he usually only works with shibari enthusiasts, for this series of stills he collaborated with some of America’s best known fetish models. For helping in the mutual search for the artistic in the erotic he would like to thank: Devon, subgirl, Julie Simone and Michelle.” The second letter, warmly signed, accompanied further photographic contributions intended for two Boedt-edited hardcovers: the fourth volume of ‘Fetish Photo Anthology’ and ‘Extreme’, with Master K explaining: “I tried to combine the best of traditional kinbaku art with interesting photography in order to show the excitement, drama and passion felt by the truly engaged submissive. All the emotions shown here are real. There was no posing and everyone involved had a great time.” The material predates Master K’s book publications and documents an early phase of his public output and self-positioning within Western fetish publishing. He would later publish ‘Shibari, the Art of Japanese Bondage’ (2004) and ‘The Beauty of Kinbaku’ (2008; revised edition 2015), the latter translated into Japanese as ‘A Cultural History of Kinbaku’ (Suriensha, 2013). Beyond print, he served as rigger for the 2016 film ‘The Neon Demon’, starring Keanu Reeves and Elle Fanning, and was co-founder of the Los Angeles study groups Spring Tiger Ryu and LA Rope.

Sweet Gwendoline & Sir Dystic d’Arcy No. 1: The Race for the Gold Cup
AU$2,000.00 Read MoreAdd to cartJohn Willie [John Alexander Scott Coutts]
Los Angeles: J. A. S. Coutts, 1958.The complete cartoon serial of Sweet Gwendoline, reworked, finished, and published by the artist. The character first appeared in Coutts iconic fetish magazine Bizarre, which ran for 26 issues between 1946 and 1959 and remains the most influential fetish periodical of its era. Publishing under the pseudonym John Willie, Coutts work profoundly shaped later artists including Eric Stanton, Gene Bilbrew, and erotica publisher Leonard Burtman. Born in Singapore to British parents, Coutts lived in Brisbane and Sydney from 1926 to 1945, where he developed his signature aesthetic centred on high heels, corsetry, and bondage. During this period he produced photographs and drawings, often featuring his wife and model Holly Anna Faram, much of which informed the imagery of Bizarre’s early issues. After a short stint in the Australian Military Forces, Coutts emigrated to North America in 1945, publishing Bizarre soon after. This standalone title was published after Coutts had sold the magazine and relocated from New York to Los Angeles. The final 55-page narrative that Coutts published in magazine form in November 1958 was a significant reworking of the original Sir d’Arcy d’Arcy comic–almost a complete reimagining. The journey to this completed work had been long and winding, beginning in Bizarre, passing through Wink magazine, and briefly distributed by Irving Klaw as 10×8″ photographic sheets. The bound edition Coutts eventually published remains the only complete version.” (Richard Perez Seves, John Willie: The Story of John Alexander Scott Coutts). A single copy recorded in public institutions, at Yale University.
