JOHN K.: SITTING
(KAYSER, JOHN, aka JOHN K). Kroll, Eric. Portland, OR: Ampersand Editions, 2014. Second Edition 1/300. 8vo. Pictorial Wrappers. Photography Monograph. As New.. np (80pp), 41 color illustrations. Fastidiously compiled by Eric Kroll, "Sitting" is the first published survey of works by the mysterious late Los Angeles-based erotic photographer John Kayser - whose massive archive was discovered and partially acquired by the noted photographer and historian Mr. Kroll. This engaging little volume consists of fetishized color polaroids from the fifties through seventies in which alluring nude models are captured from behind sitting on an array of everything from bearskin rugs to watermelon, cakes, and even a pet cat. A brand new, pristine example of the 2014 revised and enlarged Ampersand Editions second edition of this already uncommon gem limited to three hundred unnumbered copies that includes several new photographs from the collection - one of which offers a glimpse of the elusive photographer himself. 1-941556-04-3 Inventory Number: 20160307 - 2
