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)

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.
