TEENAGE LUST: AN AUTOBIOGRAPHY BY LARRY CLARK - FIRST JAPANESE EDITION
(CLARK, LARRY). Clark Larry. Tokyo: Taka Ishii Gallery, 1997. First Japanese Edition 1/1000. 4to. Pictorial Wrappers. Photography Monograph. Near Fine.. np, profusely illustrated in b&w. Text in English and Japanese. Twelve years after the 1971 Lustrum Press publication of his landmark, taboo-breaking "Tulsa", Larry Clark self-published its equally shocking successor "Teenage Lust". A gritty, voyeuristic photo essay of American sex, drugs, and transgressive youth, this book still resonates with a jarring forcefulness over twenty years later. A most handsome example of the first Japanese edition from 1997 (whose 1983 first printing is cited on page 24 of "From Fair to Fine: 20th Century Photography Books That Matter", pages 244-45 of "The Book of 101 Books", and page 260 of Alessandro Bertolotti's "Books of Nudes") limited to one thousand unnumbered copies that contains additional images not found in the American first edition along with the Japanese language translation of the photographer's holographic text printed at the rear bearing the discreet blindstamp of a previous owner.
