Peter Berlin: Icon, Artist, Photosexual
AU$900.00 Read MoreAdd to cartPeter Berlin
[Bologna]: Damiani, 2019.One of 50 copies of the deluxe edition with a signed and numbered silver gelatin photograph by Berlin housed in the publisher’s original mailing carton. “Featuring the work of Berlin along with images by Tom of Finland, Robert Mapplethorpe, and Andy Warhol, Peter Berlin: Icon pays tribute to the man who in the early to mid-1970s revolutionized the landscape of gay male eroticism and became an international sensation. His self-portrait photography graced the covers of gay magazines, and defined a look that re-imagined a new masculinity among gay men and an emerging gay male culture. Peter Berlin was a self-created. Tailoring his own clothes to accentuate an already naturally defined physique, every part of his anatomy became showcased. Cruising was his career, and with a background in photography, Peter embarked on recording thousands of self-portraits. The book is edited by Michael Bullock is a writer and publisher of BUTT, Pin-Up, Fantastic Man, Gentlewoman, and Apartamento magazines.” (publisher’s blurb)

Gayface
AU$100.00 Read MoreAdd to cartAsh Kolodner
Seattle: Lucia Marquand, 2023.“From 2011 to 2015, Ashley Kolodner travelled across the United States photographing hundreds of LGBTQIA+ individuals of all ages. She made two consecutive portraits of each of her subjects, photographing them twice during the same sitting: once with eyes closed and then with eyes open. Through more than 180 colour portraits, along with subject interviews, this title reflects the beauty, intimacy and sometimes the pain of a community kept in the shadows for decades. Includes contributing texts by filmmaker Kimberly Peirce and Tony award-winning producer Jordan Roth. These diptychs symbolise the vulnerability many have felt at the outset of discovering their personal identities, and then the realisation and self-actualisation manifest in the intimate and profound process of coming out. Ultimately these pictures and this handsome volume represent a revelatory statement on the profound humanity we all s hare.” (publisher’s blurb)

Photographs: Together & Alone
AU$65.00 Read MoreAdd to cartKarlheinz Weinberger
: The Song Cave, 2020.“..containing over 200 never-before-published vintage photographic prints that were re-discovered in 2017. Edited by Ben Estes, this unique collection pairs images of Weinberger’s most famous subjects, the “Halbstarke,” a loosely organized group of Swiss “rebels” in the late 1950s and early 1960s, carousing at local carnivals and on a camping trip, with a much more private side of Weinberge’s oeuvre: solo portraits of men from the late 1950s through the mid-1970s whom he invited into his makeshift studio in the rooms of the apartment he shared with his mother. The men in these portraits–construction workers, street vendors, bicycle messengers, outsiders–span a spectrum of fully clothed, arms-crossed poses to campy and flirtatious, fully nude and reclined, while others mimic art historical postures. All of these images, though, reveal a palpable sense of tenderness between photographer and subject, revealing an expansive and uncritical take on the male form in an era when being photographed wasn’t such a casual, ubiquitous record as it is today. Though not a professional photographer–he worked as a warehouse stock manager–Weinberger captured his subjects with a distinctly gay male gaze, both carnal and artistic, and this collection is certain to earn his work a larger following and appreciation.” (publisher’s blurb)

Of Those Alone
AU$1,000.00 Read MoreAdd to cartRobert Hutton
London: Sidgwick and Jackson, 1958.The pseudonymous autobiography of Horace Charles Forbes Cheston, published under the name Robert Hutton shortly after the release of the Wolfenden Report. Written at a time when homosexuality was still criminalised and taboo, Of Those Alone offers an unusually candid account of Cheston’s sexual and emotional life. Moving between Paris, California, New York, and the South of France before returning to England, he recounts his affairs, his ill-fated marriage to an American woman, and his descent into alcoholism, concluding with redemption through Alcoholics Anonymous, an organisation he later helped to establish in Britain. One of the earliest openly homosexual autobiographies of the postwar period, it precedes the more widely known works of the 1960s gay liberation era and is quite likely the first memoir of a gay alcoholic writer.

International Mr. Leather: 25 Years of Champions
AU$550.00 Read MoreAdd to cartJoseph W. Bean
Las Vegas and Chicago: Nazca Plains and The Leather Archives & Museum, 2004.A thoroughly illustrated year-by-year chronicle of the world’s premier gay leather contest, founded by Chuck Resnlow in Chicago in 1979. Australia entered the IML story early: Patrick Brooks, the winner of IML 1980, became the first non-American titleholder and remains one of the most competition’s most controversial champsions. Brooks and his sponsor reportedly believed that winning the titled conferred hosting rights for the following year’s event, and briefly announced plans for IML 1981 to be held in Sydney before organisers clarified that the contest would remain in Chicago. Despite this misunderstanding, the Australian leather scene flourished, with Mr. Australia Leather contests continuing through the 1980s and 1990s, regularly sending representatives to IML. Notably, Australians achieved two runner-up finishes: Brent Lacey, Mr. Laird Leather Image (Melbourne), placed second in 1993, and Andrew Lennon, Mr. Mephisto Leather (Sydney), placed second in 1998. Bean’s volume documents these milestones among hundreds of photographs and profiles of titleholders, capturing a global leather brotherhood that prominently included Australia from its earliest days. Unrecorded in Australian institutional collections.
