Tracing the erotic from its earliest origins to the present day, this provocative and opinionated guide reveals the many shades of erotic art. Covering phallic Babylonian carvings from 1800 BCE, forbidden Victorian watercolors, 18th-century Shunga woodcuts and the extraordinary queer art of Ron Athey, Valie Export and Tom of Finland, this witty guide celebrates the beauty, chaos and absurdity of erotic art – and questions how desire shapes the way we see the world. With simple design, beautiful reproductions and concise, colorful opinion, this is part of the series of Opinionated Guides on art movements, mediums and ideas.
