The Virgin Sperm Dancer
AU$600.00 Read MoreAdd to cartWilliam Levy; Ginger Gordon
The Hague: Uitgeverij Bert Bakker, 1978.An ecstatic journey of a boy transformed into a girl for one day only, and her erotic adventures in Amsterdam, magic centrum. A classic publication from the age of sexual liberation, The virgin sperm dancer is an early photobook which illustrates the story of Joop, a young Dutch man who experiences a day transformed as Joopie, a sexually awakened woman. Published as a Suck Special Issue of the Amsterdam-based pornography magazine Suck, The virgin sperm dancer clearly aims to titillate with its uncensored graphic photographs of the escapades in this fantasy. However through the lengthy narrative and exploration of the versatility of sexual experience, Sperm Dancer finds itself as a prototype for later works that explore sexual freedom and concepts of gender. Through depictions of free love in Amsterdam in the 70s with a focus on transsexuality, bisexuality, transvestism, and homosexuality, Sperm dancer avoids gender paradigms of masculinity and power, and includes women’s sexual empowerment and orgasm as a focus of the work. Unusually for a sex magazine, this standalone publication does not appear to pitch its eroticism to a particular sexuality but rather embraces the versatility of sexual experience as being its greatest appeal. The virgin sperm dancer was immediately influential and homaged on the cover of the September 1972 issue of London Oz. A second edition was published in 1978. Suck is touted as the first European sex newspaper and was launched in London in 1969 before moving to Amsterdam to avoid England’s anti-obscenity laws. Written by William Levy. Photographs by Ginger Gordon. This second printing copy signed by William Levy on the title page and inscribed by him to the wrappers verso, For Marta Norman – I became you – Bill 25 IX 78, and with the promotional flyer reproducing the title page laid in.

AU$125.00 Read MoreAdd to cartDian Hanson
Koln: Taschen, 2022.“1967 was the year men’s magazines became pornography. Prior, there were pinup magazines and adventure magazines, art-photo magazines, nudist magazines, girlie titles and risque titles, over-the-counter and under-the-counter, top shelf and bottom shelf, spicy, saucy, sparkling and seedy titles. But the day Berth Milton Sr. walked into a session of Swedish Parliament with photos of actual sexual intercourse and announced he was going to publish them in his magazine Private, pornography was born.” (from introduction)

Koln: Taschen, 2022.“The new publishing companies started in Hollywood then expanded into the San Fernando Valley, the first settlers in what would become the world capitol of porn production. American Art Agency, commonly called Parliament, was the leader, but Art Enterprises, Comet, Dominion, Marquis, Marst, Orbit, Pendulum, Press Arts, Rilgac, Sari, Spice, Tri-S, Tower, Utopia and many others contributed memorable magazines. The East Coast got into the game late with Sampson and Delilah Publishing, Health Knowledge, and Lenny Burtman’s Selbee Associates out of New York, and the distinctive Tudor House/Central Sales from Baltimore, but overall, California ruled.” (from introduction)

AU$125.00 Read MoreAdd to cartDian Hanson
Koln: Taschen, 2022.“Around 1960 Hugh Hefner began exporting Playboy. It was an immediate success overseas and by mid-decade most of Europe had adopted the Playboy blueprint for its own men’s magazines. From France came Lui, from Italy Playmen. England made King, Germany Eden. The only serious challenge to Playboy’s dominance came when Penthouse from newly hip London in 1965, taking the grittier stance of the Rolling Stones to Playboy’s Beatles. From 1966 on Penthouse was copied regularly as Playboy, resulting in English Mayfair and Men Only and Italian Excelsior, Men, 10 and numerous others. Italy was especially taken with the Penthouse model, since publisher Bob Guccione was a paisano himself, but even Germany’s most venerable men’s magazine, Er, eventually restyled in Penthouse hipster mode. Soon these “lifestyle” men’s magazines, those that covered fashion, food, travel and entertainment as well as sex, were the only titles available on European newsstands. Playboy’s overseas influence was a stunning victory for Hefner, but it came at the expense of the more culturally distinctive magazines made in France, Germany and England prior to 1960.” (from introduction)

Koln: Taschen, 2022.“Sex publishing has always been a battleground. On the one hand there were men, mentally and physically hardwired to respond to erotic images. On the other hand, other men, determined to deprive the first group of what they naturally desired. The first two volumes tracing the history of men’s magazines are about the struggle between lust and taboo, beginning with the first bare French breasts in 1880 and ending with bare American breasts in 1958.” (from author’s introduction to Volume 1)

Zurich: Edition Patrick Frey, 2018.Piotr Uklanski’s Untitled (Pornalikes), 2002-12 was first presented as part of the exhibition Piotr Uklanski: Czterdziesci i sztery, Zacheta Natoinal Gallery of Art, Warsaw, 2019. “Pornalikes is a book of portraits with a difference. Culling his materials from a 2002-2018 photo archive of porn actors who resemble or actually even portray celebrities and public figures, Polish artist Piotr Uklanski (born 1968) draws on men’s magazines such as Hustler and Loaded, as well as meme-culture material from websites and blogs, to assemble this challenging take on portraiture and celebrity . In Pornalikes Uklanski subverts the original expectations of traditional art-historical portraiture, exploring the pop-cultural tensions between sexual identity and exploitation, man and woman, fiction and reality and challenging both easy moral parameters and good taste. Pornalikes picks up where his cult series The Nazis and Real Nazis, also published by Edition Patrick Frey, left off.” (publisher’s blurb)
