Description from the seller

Tony Ward – ORGASM XL
French first edition - 2002 - Large format

French first edition – Alixe Editions – Contemporary erotic photography – Copy like new

Important photographic work by Tony Ward, American photographer known for his provocative, sensual, and transgressive universe, at the border of fashion photography, portrait, underground culture, and contemporary erotica.

Published in Paris in 2002 by Éditions Alixe, Orgasm XL brings together a set of photographs particularly representative of Tony Ward's aesthetic, where sensuality, provocation, glamour and exploration of representations of the body and sexuality mingle.

Through numerous color and black-and-white photographs, the artist develops a personal visual language, alternating portraits, erotic staging, sophisticated compositions and deliberately provocative images.

His work explores the relationships between desire, identity, intimacy and representation of the body, in an aesthetic that borrows as much from fashion photography as from alternative cultures and contemporary art.

The work stands out for its large format, its abundant iconography and the visual force of its compositions.

Bibliophilic and photographic interest

Orgasm XL sits within the tradition of photographic publications devoted to sexuality, the body and contemporary erotic representations.

This French edition of 2002, published by Alixe, now appears rare in booksellers' catalogs, unlike the American edition published by Last Gasp.

A work sought after by enthusiasts of erotic photography, underground culture, contemporary photography books and publications devoted to the representation of the body.
