Photo- book of a superstar who defined the gay eroticism of the Seventies and Eighties

PETER BERLIN: ICON

Peter Berlin/ Distributed Art Publishers

Packed with the most incredible imagery, this is the new photo- book essential. Artist, model and filmmaker, Peter Berlin was a self- created erotic icon and international sensation. With his trademark pageboy haircut and his skin- tight costumes, he became a gay sex symbol and a walking work of art. Cruising was his career, and with a background in photography, Peter began taking erotic self- portraits in the parks, train stations and on the streets of Berlin, Rome, Paris, New York and San Francisco. His Seventies and Eighties self- portrait snaps graced the covers of countless gay magazines. Here, his uninhibited body of work is celebrated alongside images by Tom of Finland, Robert Mapplethorpe and Andy Warhol. Edited by Michael Bullock of Butt and Fantastic Man magazines. Amazing.
