“Del LaGrace Volcano’s photographs are amongst the most revealing and the most sexual of contemporary images… While LaGrace Volcano shares similar territory with fellow photographer Diane Arbus – namely in the subject of marginal sexual and gender communities – in approach, LaGrace Volcano and Arbus could not be more different. LaGrace Volcano unfailingly avoids the kind of objectification that characterizes an Arbus portrait. In Arbus everyone is a freak a priori; in LaGrace Volcano even the most outre subjects are presented with an identification and love – a love and identification which is passed on to the view.” (from blurb) This copy inscribed by Del LaGrace Volcano to contemporary artist Luke Roberts / Pope Alice.
