After the big success of the first two auctions, 5Uhr30.com (Ecki Heuser, Cologne) now proudly presents the third and last edition for this year of “Masters of Erotic Photobooks".
Enjoy another very personal selection of books dedicated to eroticism in all its beautiful facets - drawn from my private library and from various acquisitions over the past years.

Building on her own training at the Mannheim School of Art, Sylvie Blum began working as a photographer herself after his death.

Sylvie Blum, the widow of Günter Blum, grants the viewer exciting insights in her first work. At arm’s length, she confidently stages herself and presents her own body. She favors capturing the moment and spontaneous experimentation over the pursuit of the perfect image, resulting in photographs that are both intimate and unsettling, frivolously seductive yet at the same time artistic.
