Description

Ampersand, 2014. Softcover in pictorial wrappers. First Edition, First Printing limited to only 300 copies issued worldwide. 35 pages with 31 color photographic nudes showing naked women from behind sitting on various objects. The photos were taken by John K in the 1950’s and 1960’s and are now in the private collection of Eric Kroll. Essay and Afterword by Eric Kroll. Sitting features a selection of vintage photographs by a previously unknown photographer named John K., who had a passion for photographing nude women sitting on all manner of unlikely things: pies, cakes, bread, fish bowls, cats and vegetables, both indoors and out. This select edit comes from a much larger archive of hundreds of John K. photographs owned by Eric Kroll, himself a well-known fetish photographer, collector and editor of several books on the subject of erotic art and photography. In addition to the text, Sitting includes one photograph by Kroll himself as an homage to John, who, he admits, showed him a perspective on the art of photographing women that he had missed.
