"The use of heterosexual pornography or soft erotica in collage and assemblage is often all too uncritical, but for a few of the California artists who came of age in the early 1950s, Wallace Berman for example, its applications were much more nuanced. This approach to "girlie magazine" imagery and its polar opposite - the impulse to decommodify sexuality - can both be found in the photographs, paintings and books of Richard Prince, an artist whose fondness for the era of Berman is well known. "She" traces these overlaps and sympathies with reproductions of previously unseen works by Berman and new images from Prince's "Girlfriends" and "de Kooning" series. Also included is an interview with Prince and editor Kristine McKenna, whose ongoing work on Wallace Berman and his contemporaries continues to yield exciting discoveries".

Signed by the Photographer. Santa Fe, NM: Twin Palms Publishers, 2005. First Edition 1/4000. Folio. Cloth in Illustrated Jacket. Photography Monograph. Fine/Fine. np (188pp), 79 color illustrations. Designed by Jack Woody and Jeff Burton. "Jeff Burton has profited from working in the porn industry for almost twenty years, towing its seemingly paradoxical strict docu-aesthetic line: he never crops his photographs nor are they ever manipulated; any staging is the result of the labor and art direction available at the scene or on the set. "The Other Place" is the first comprehensive selection of Jeff Burton's work in pornography which began in the 1980s with his portraits and stills for video boxes. This oversize volume captures the lush atmosphere and isolation of the men and women working in the California adult film industry through the eyes of one of its most brilliant observers". A pristine copy SIGNED by Jeff Burton in black ink on the half title page.

Add to this his mistress of fifteen years and you have not only a catalogue raisonné of Crumb's portraits of women but also a revealing record of a passionate life.

For his second book, the photographer "explores the theme of the female nude submerged in water, and celebrates the modern mermaid, as represented by beautiful young women who appear very much at home in the water". A pristine copy of this stunning tome from the limited edition of one hundred copies only housed in a debossed black linen solander box SIGNED AND NUMBERED by Michael Dweck.

By exploring femininity through stereotypes, and using it to her advantage, she drew enormous attention and thus started to travel the world with thousands of Fafinettes in her brushes and paint cans".

It is limited to a small number of artists by whom he owns a great number of pieces.

Additionally, Taschen owns many quality pieces representing key artists from the generation that emerged in the 1980s and is still active today.

Coming from a background that included time as an assistant to Jock Sturges, she has formed her own unique documentary approach that is an ongoing study of youth, nature, and the beauty of the unguarded human body.
