Shunji Ito et al. - nude - 1987

IMPORTANT NOTICE

This lot is an original vintage art book, NOT a single photographic print.

History / Description

Published in Japan by Asahi Shuppan Sha in 1987, nude is a visually distinctive art book edited by Shunji Ito, featuring works by multiple photographers and artists.

The volume presents an elegant selection of black-and-white and colour nude photography, combined with refined graphic design and editorial layout characteristic of Japanese visual publishing of the late 1980s. Rather than focusing on a single photographer, the book offers a curated collection that explores the artistic representation of the human form through diverse photographic styles.

Its clean typography, thoughtful composition, and high-quality printing make it an appealing addition for collectors of vintage photography books, Japanese graphic design, and contemporary visual culture.

Collector Appeal

A desirable volume for collectors of Japanese art books, vintage photography, editorial design, and erotic visual culture. The combination of works by multiple photographers and sophisticated book design reflects an important period in Japanese art publishing.
