Oz Magazine (Australia) Complete Set with Newsletters
AU$15,000 Read MoreAdd to cartRichard Neville; Richard Walsh; Martin Sharp
Sydney: Oz Publications Ink, 1963-1970.A high point of underground publishing. The foundational Australian edition of Oz, edited by Richard Neville, Richard Walsh, and Martin Sharp and published in Sydney between 1963 and 1969, with the reduced-format fortnightly newsletters continuing into 1970 under Walsh and Dean Letcher. Preceding and inspiring the better-known London Oz (1967-1973), the Australian edition tackled censorship, homosexuality, police corruption, the White Australia policy, and the Vietnam War, provoking a series of obscenity prosecutions, culminating in a 1964 conviction that was later overturned on appeal. Sharp’s covers and illustrations, ranging from early satirical cartooning to full psychedelic intensity, chart his emergence as one of Australia’s most significant pop artists. Complete in 41 issues of the magazine proper, together with a complete set of the rarely seen newsletters (Nos. 42-82) including the election special (No. 56).

The Clyster: For the Connoisseur of Enema Delights (July 1989)
AU$300 Read MoreAdd to cartTrish Turner Labs
Sydney: Trish Turner Labs, 1989.Single issue of The Enema Fanciers Society quarterly newsletter, a Sydney klismaphile club run by Trish Turner Labs from a PO Box at Hurstville. The issue contains two pages of personals, two pages of letters, two further articles, and a one-page second instalment of a serialisation, stated to be by permission, of ‘Klismaphilia: Amplification of the Erotic Enema Deviance’ by Dr Joanne D. Denko (printed as Denco). Denko, a psychiatrist, coined the term klismaphilia in 1973, and this paper first appeared in the ‘American Journal of Psychotherapy’ in 1976. The back page states that the society was launched with a newspaper advertisement about eight months earlier, boasts that their file now includes 5000 names and addresses of interested persons, and announces the next issue for October 1989. The cover story continues from a May issue, so presumably at least one earlier number of the newsletter was published. Despite these markers, no other issues of the newsletter, or any record of the society or of Trish Turner have been traced by this cataloguer, the only record that can be traced is that of their registered company name being dissolved in a 1995 Government Gazette notice. Offered together with the newsletter is a membership application form. Membership offered the newsletter every three months, a three litre enema set, a half-hour VHS ‘Introduction to the Enema’, a 64 page book ‘The Enema a Teaching Manual’, and an outcall enema service for members when in Sydney.

Butch: The Male Thing! Vol. 1, Nos. 2 & 3
AU$400 Read MoreAdd to cartBill Munro
Sydney: Butch Enterprises, [1972].The second (of only two published) of one of Australia’s first gay porn magazines. It has been well documented that Munro’s publishing ventures were more for his own joy of sex than any great publishing profit aspirations, nonetheless, this final double-issue presents as a fine example of 1970s Australian erotica with its mix of male homoeroticism, cartoons, advertisements, and articles, as well as venue, book, and film reviews. Uncommon in the medium, Munro published his name prominently on the front cover, and the interior contains portraits of himself and staff, at a time when homosexuality was still criminalised throughout Australia. He later said he wanted Butch to have a “strong come out attitude [and show] that somebody wasn’t afraid to come out of the closet” (Munro: Let It All Hang Out, 2008). After Butch, Munro published a shortlived tabloid in 1973 titled Little Butch, before selling up to Bill Horne, heterosexual smut publisher of Ribald, who continued the publication as Gay. Printed by Sydney printers Rotaspeed Press, known for printing numerous Australian erotica works by Howard Products, Potz Press, and Lay Press, as well as student newspapers such as University of Queensland Union’s Semper Floreat.

Gay Interlude
AU$100 Read MoreAdd to cartCarol Clanton
Sydney: Scripts, 1973.“The nether world of women without men.” Australian reissue of the 1961 Midwood release. One of the many lesbian pulp novels produced in the mid to late 20th century. Often formulaic and issued in easily recognisable series with suggestive covers and titillating titles, the genre was written largely by male authors under female pseudonyms for a male readership, though a smaller number of authors, some of them lesbian or bisexual women writing under similar pseudonyms, brought more narrative sincerity and psychological depth to the same commercial format. The genre as a whole ranges from outright formulaic titillation to more literary treatments of lesbian relationships within the constraints of the paperback original.

Public Fitting
AU$2,500 Read MoreAdd to cartTim Johnson
Sydney: Tim Johnson, 1972.A 1972 artist’s book by Sydney conceptual artist (now painter) Tim Johnson (1947-), containing 40 full page black and white street photographs which show the wind lifting the skirts of women on the streets of Sydney. Produced during his time as co-founder of one of Sydney’s first artist-run spaces, Inhibodress, alongside Mike Parr and Peter Kennedy, the work forms a key part of Johnson’s early-1970s investigations into public space, social conditioning, and eroticism. While the images might initially appear voyeuristic (see upskirt), they are best understood through the lens of his contemporaneous performances, Disclosure and Fittings. Those live works staged situations to expose and analyze unconscious “sexual mores” and “sex-role conditioning”, manipulating participants’ clothing in a gallery, provoking direct responses. Public Fitting explores similar themes through the “found performance” of the street, framing the wind as an unwitting collaborator and the women’s reactions as unscripted data on social behaviour. Published alongside a Super 8 film of the same name (featuring different images as compared with the film in the collection of the Gallery of Modern Art, Brisbane), the film’s duration underscores the work’s non-erotic, analytical dimension. In contrast, the book’s static images are more readily misread as purely voyeuristic. This copy bears a later manuscript title on the spine, “Public Fitting – XXX”, a direct annotation of the work’s perceived erotic content, demonstrating the very social-sexual condition the artist sought to examine. Beyond this conceptual framework, the work also serves a vidid record of women’s fashion in early-1970s Sydney, an era dominated by the miniskirt. The edition size is unstated, though several sources, including the Art Gallery of New South Wales, state that 200 copies were produced. This copy with an additional folded sheet containing 5 further small images of a woman’s underwear (perhaps from a different source), the artist’s stamp with his 54 Albermarle St address, and the contemporary signature Micheal [Mansell?] dated 17th/4/72.

At Water’s Edge
AU$50 Read MoreAdd to cartPaul Blackmore
Sydney: T&G Publishing, 2012.“At Water’s Edge, the long-awaited publication from photographer Paul Blackmore, explores the relationship between humanity and its most vital natural resource. This extraordinary body of work – spanning 11 years and 14 countries – provides a global look at how water flows through the spiritual and physical daily lives of people around the world. The photographs poignantly illustrate the unfolding drama of the global water crisis and how it is affecting those caught up in it: a billion people without access to clean water, another four billion without an adequate supply. Against this dire backdrop, the work also celebrates the quiet, yet essential connection with nature that water offers us.” (publisher’s blurb)

Narcolepsy
AU$50 Read MoreAdd to cartMax Pam; Bob Charles
Sydney: T&G Publishing, 2012.“Narcolepsy radically delivers a process that shakes-up the form of the book to produce the art as book and the book as art. The book is a fully realised graphic vehicle. The ways in which the book operates as a series of closures and openings, also parallels the content of the book and amplifies it as an evocative, mysterious object. Narcolepsy is loaded with the poetics of sex and death realised through an exciting fusion of drawing, painting, text and photography. Narcolepsy is a disturbingly ambiguous novella in pictures and words by Max Pam (photographer) and Bob Charles (writer).” (publisher’s blurb)

Sydney: T&G Publishing, 2011.“In 2011 Magnum photographer Martin Parr set out to photograph three Western Australian port cities, Fremantle, Port Hedland and Broome. Each town was a unique setting for a photographer famed for his images of British seaside culture in the publication Last Resort. Using his unmistakably intimate and satirical style, Parr went about photographing Australian cliches, full of saturated colours and flash photography. The resulting photographs, published here for the first time, are an invaluable collection from this world-renowned British photographer.” (publisher’s blurb)

Sydney: T&G Publishing, 2009.“The collection of images in War — A Degree South Collection #1 truly illustrates that war is the disease of humanity. There has never been a time that it didn’t exist. Once the battlefield was the place of devastation. Now it is streets, alleyways, schools and places of worship. People and places are no longer protected or sacred. During times of war it is now officially safer to be a soldier than an unarmed civilian. In WWI, five percent of casualties were civilians. WWII the figure was fifty percent. In 1990, planet earth was host to 32 conflicts or wars and ninety percent of the casualties were civilians, nearly all of them women and children. Things have not improved and at present there are 43 conflicts taking place on our planet.” (publisher’s blurb) The photographers are Tim Page, David Dare Parker, Ben Bohane, Stephen Dupont, Jack Picone, Michael Coyne, Ashley Gilbertson and Sean Flynn.

Monte Cassino (Con Amore) w/ Print
AU$40 Read MoreAdd to cartSteven Nestor
Sydney: T&G Publishing, 2019.“Monte Cassino: Con Amore is an exploration by Steven Nestor of the destruction of a small Italian town Monte Cassino and its monastery in the Second World War. Surviving copies of The Illustrated London News from 1944 lead Nestor on a journey to discover and record the last remaining traces of the devastation of the town and the Benedictine monastery built on the site of the original Abbey chosen and founded by St Benedict in the 6th century. Blending original material from his research archive alongside his own images, Nestor encourages the viewer to cross into an elusive but violent past. The photographic windows throughout this book look out onto a buried past that continues to inform and shape our present through the fragments that have survived destruction, the passage of time and a human quest to overcome disaster. This is a journey across unremarkable contemporary places and into their dark history: forlorn graffiti semaphores in a space once littered with casualties of battle, a collapsed street sign lies unnoticed on the edge of town and autumnÂ’s mulch burns on the road that snakes its way up to the summit of worship and war.” (publisher’s blurb) This copy signed by Nestor on the title page and with a signed photographic print in a paper folder laid in.

Sydney: T&G Publishing, 2016.“Cabramatta is not your typical Australian suburb. If you took a stroll through the streets of this south-western Sydney hub, you may feel like you are in Southeast Asia. However, the suburb of Cabramatta is emblematic of modern Australia — urban, busy and brimming with multicultural activity. Sydney photographer Markus Andersen has captured this melting pot of cultures in his distinctive, street photography style. His raw, sometimes playful images show the uniquely diverse and human side of Cabramatta, seizing little moments of beauty in everyday life. A year in the life of one of AustraliaÂ’s most vivid multicultural communities, suspended in the amber of Markus Andersen’s lens.” (publisher’s blurb) This copy signed by Andersen.
