Le Pitch

Présentation de l'éditeur Cult film director John Waters and art critic and curator Bruce Hainley offer a provocative and personal interpretation of the theme of sex and sexuality in art. They have selected a wide range of works, from graphic depictions of the body to abstract images suggesting or inviting different ideas of the erotic, and have arranged them into "rooms" just as in a real exhibition. Andy Warhol, Larry Clark, Richard Kern, Sarah Lucas, Cy Twombly, Lily van der Stokker, Jeff Burton, Karen Kilimnik and Paul McCarthy are just some of the 70 well known artists in the book, which includes paintings, drawings, sculpture, photography and video. The authors talk about their selection in a frank and elucidating conversation, presented in three parts. They consider many of the issues thrown up by the art and discuss - with humour and seriousness alike - how it reflects attitudes towards sex and the body. Biographie de l'auteur With hits such as Hairspray, Pink Flamingos, Serial Mom and Pecker, John Waters - dubbed by William Burroughs 'the Pope of Trash' - has consistently shocked, outraged and amused film audiences around the world. He is about to start shooting a film about sex addicts. Bruce Hainley is the author of monographs on Christopher Makos and Tom Friedman and is a contributing editor of Artforum.
