Xxgirls [Hardcover]

Richard Kern (Photographer)

Book Description

Publication Date: February 2, 1997

Richard Kern’s classic and long out of print book of black and white photographs of young women was published by a Tokyo Gallery in 1996 as a way to get some of his erotic images from the book New York Girls past the censors in Japan. This book, published early in Kern’s career, features nude photos of girls he knew and worked with from New York’s downtown art and music scene.

This review is from: XXGirls (Kindle Edition)

Is it art? Is it porn? It's both, or it's neither, or it fits in some weird space in-between that is unique to Richard Kern. This Kindle edition of b/w photographs looks great and makes available an out-of-print book that now sells for over a hundred dollars to collectors. Doubtless photography books will become more common in this format in the near future, and their publishers would do well to turn to XXGIRLS to see how Kern does it right.
