About this deal

It may seem somewhat singular to say that a book of male nudes by a gay photographer deals with innocence, particularly when the photographer was roundly criticized by many for his commercial images delineating the sensual beauty of the male body as well as — and even more so — those depicting what some termed a “teen-age drug culture,” but there you have it.

It was already a relatively rare photography book and this recent publicity has increased both its selling cost and decreased its availability.

Not only is it interesting, but it helps me to spot trends in the rare book world – for example, I saw two copies of the same title sold yesterday. There is no escaping that this book (published, incidentally, in 1990 to benefit the AIDS Resource Center in New York) celebrates a vision at once romantic and fundamentally spiritual. By using the Web site, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by the Terms and Conditions. Fine cream cloth boards with white recessed titles in near fine dust jacket protected in mylar (small closed tear at lower edge). Weber settled both Boyce's lawsuit and the lawsuit filed by the group of five models, according to Page Six.

One year later, five male models sued Weber, saying he had sexually assaulted or exploited them, according to T he New York Times. White Hot makes it clear that photographer Bruce Weber (and his book Bear Pond—more on that in a sec) was the brains and inspiration behind the marketing campaign. I have used common breathing exercises and professionally photographed thousands of nude models over my career, but never touched anyone inappropriately,” he said in a statement, the outlet reported.

In this volume, Bruce presents an arcadian vision of “broad serenity,” a singularly beautiful collection of male nudes and landscapes. This poem, in full, is the inscription to the book “Bear Pond” published in 1990 to accompany the exhibition at Robert Miller Gallery titled “Figure Studies. The cases were settled and Weber denied all accusations, but many of his former brands will no longer work with him.

You can find many of Weber's snapshots, including a few that were taken at Bear Pond, here (some photos are NSFW). A lifelong love of the written word brought her to Biblio and she happily spends her days talking about books and delving into the wide world of antiquarian books. Light rubbing wear to corners and edges of jacket, small surface tear to top front corner of jacket, tight and unmarked. They claimed “unnecessary nudity and coercive sexual behavior” had happened during professional shoots. It contained 100 of Weber’s photographs, comprised of landscape shots and figure studies (some NSFW).These days, Weber is still working as a photographer, documentary director, and is publishing books of his work. He first rose to fame for his barely-there Calvin Klein ads that took the fashion industry by storm in the 1980s and 90s. Weber was openly gay, and Bear Pond was published to benefit the AIDS Resource Center in New York, according to the review.
