Aerdenhout: Arboris, 1984.Provocative Dutch adult comic of corrupted scripture, horror, and explicit sex.

The Little Big Penis Book
AU$30 Read MoreAdd to cartDian Hanson
Koln: Taschen, 2012.“”Sirs” begins the missive from our imaginary correspondent. “It’s not that I don’t love your original Big Penis Book, but that, perhaps, I love it too much. I now become anxious leaving the house without it, and long business trips are simply torture. Couldn’t you make a smaller, less obtrusive edition, still packed with men whose generative members measure over 8 inches, that doesn’t form a suspiciously large bulge in my carry-on luggage? And while you’re at it, could you make it highly affordable, since my pockets are as shallow as this premise?” Done! The Little Big Penis Book features over 150 massively endowed models from the 1940s through the ’90s, including photos by Bob Mizer of AMG, David Hurles of Old Reliable, Rip Colt of Colt Studio, Craig Calvin Anderson of Sierra Domino, Hal Roth of Filmco, Jim Jaeger of Third World Studios, Falcon Studios, Mike Arlen, Fred Bisonnes, Carlos Quiroz, and Charles Hovland in a compact and inexpensive format. Photos come not just from the original overstuffed 384-page edition, but from subsequent Big Penis Calendars, meaning that 30% of the content is unique to this edition. Add a reduced text to make more room for the stunning black-and-white and color photos and how could anyone-big, small, or just right-ask for a better deal?.” (publisher’s blurb)

Archive of Homoerotic Prints with Catalogue and TLS
AU$2,000 Read MoreAdd to cartRudolf von Keller
London: Rudolf von Keller, 1993.Archive of late 1980s / early 1990s homoerotic prints by Rudolf von Keller, sent to Jurgen Boedt, editor of the Belgian fetish magazine Secret, in the original postmarked envelope from London to Brussels. One of the two signed typed letters lists the contents of the packet as sent: the artist’s biography, advertising card, catalogue and price list, 8 sets of A4 posters (some in series of 3, others of 4), and 4 greeting cards. Of these, one three-poster series and one greeting card are absent from the surviving archive, while a second packet of A3 posters, also described in the letter, is no longer present. The artwork features hardcore homoerotic themes centred on leather, BDSM, and sadomasochism. Von Keller’s biographical note describes him as born in the late 1940s and educated in Germany, England and the Netherlands, before studying fine art at a college in the English Midlands. After working as a freelance designer while travelling Europe, he returned to the family jewellery business, but continued to produce fetish and BDSM drawings, watercolours, and paintings for a private circle. A series of exhibitions brought this work to a wider audience, leading to print reproduction and, in late 1990, his first ‘Artwork’ catalogue (included here), offering posters, cards, and limited edition prints. The operation was based in London, with a small studio later opened in Amsterdam for developing new work; the note describes him dividing his time between the two cities and a family home in the Rhineland.

[Sex Slave]
AU$5,000 Read MoreAdd to cartSuzan Pitt
New York: Suzan Pitt, 1984.Beginning in 1984, Suzan Pitt (1943-2019) painted a series of one-of-a-kind wearable artworks for The A. More Store, a project of the New York artists’ collective COLAB. Later that year they were sold through Patricia Field’s East 8th Street boutique alongside works by Keith Haring and Stephen Sprouse. Pitt described the coats as unique artworks that could be either worn or hung on the wall, combining imagery drawn from popular culture, her animated films, and her watercolours into layered visual narratives of free association. Pitt is thought to have produced between fifty and one hundred painted coats during the 1980s before concentrating on the production of her animated film Joy Street. She returned to the format in 2016 in collaboration with House of Byfield. Sexuality was a persistent subject in Pitt’s work well before the coats. Her early film Crocus (1971) established a recurring association in her animation between sexuality and vegetal and floral forms, carried further in Asparagus (1979), a film noted on release for its frank sexual imagery and remembered for its pairing with David Lynch’s Eraserhead on the midnight-movie circuit. The present coat, its title taken from the painted text across the upper back, extends this preoccupation into wearable form, setting sexually explicit illustrations and lettering against appropriated cartoon imagery of Mickey Mouse and Goofy. This example belongs to the original 1984 series and is signed and dated by the artist.

Bel Ami: New Generation
AU$100 Read MoreAdd to cartGeorge Duroy
Berlin: Bruno Gmunder, 2008.BelAmi is a gay pornographic film studio founded in 1993 by the Slovak filmmaker George Duroy, whose pseudonym was taken from the protagonist of Guy de Maupassant’s novel Bel-Ami. Established in the years following the collapse of the Eastern Bloc, the studio became closely associated with performers from Central and Eastern Europe, particularly the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Hungary, presenting an idealised image of youthful masculine beauty and helping to define the archetype of the Euro-twink in contemporary gay erotica. BelAmi distinguished itself through a polished and often narrative-driven style of filmmaking. Rather than relying solely on a succession of scenes, many productions incorporated simple storylines, characterisation, and location shooting in rural, coastal, and historic European settings, lending the films a degree of atmosphere unusual within the genre at the time. The same aesthetic informed the studio’s extensive publishing programme, including calendars and photobooks produced with Bruno Gmunder Verlag. These publications, combining portraiture, travel imagery, and erotic photography, are striking examples of late twentieth- and early twenty-first-century gay visual culture.

The Legman Book of Sex
AU$4,500 Read MoreAdd to cartGeorge Rhoads
: George Rhoads, 1954.A unique artist’s book by the American painter and sculptor George Rhoads (1926-2021) as a gift for his friend, the erotologist and folklorist Gershon Legman (1917-1999). The two met in Paris shortly after Rhoads’ arrival there in 1952, bonding over origami. The discipline of mechanical precision inherent in origami arguably foreshadows his later complex audiokinetic ball machine sculptures. Rhoads is known to have sent Legman letters embellished with foldings and comic drawings throughout the 1950s and 1960s (a small number of models survive in the Legman archive at the Origami Art Museum, Colonia del Sacramento), but the present volume is a substantially more ambitious and apparently earlier production, made in the opening years of their friendship, and directed squarely toward Legman’s lifelong scholarly fascination with erotic folklore and bawdy humour. The 58 leaves are each illustrated on the recto with original cartoon drawings. The first sixteen leaves carry two short erotic tales: one of ten leaves concerns the tale of a sex maniac; the second, of six leaves, recounts the adventures of “five little Fuckers and how they blew”; the remaining forty-two leaves illustrated with standalone erotic cartoons. The front cover with a colour illustrated title, the inside lower board signed by Rhoads with a decorative border, the date supplied in Legman’s hand. Of considerable research interest as a primary-source artefact of the Rhoads-Legman friendship, complementing the surviving body of gifted material preserved in the Legman archive at the Origami Art Museum. The erotic content places it at the intersection of Rhoads’ early Paris work and Legman’s lifelong scholarship on erotic folklore and bawdy humour, later culminating in his major study ‘Rationale of the Dirty Joke’ (First Series 1968; Second Series 1975). Provenance: ex the estate of Gershon Legman by descent via Neil Pearson.

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 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. 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.
