Fetish
Girls is Eric Kroll's blazing, 200-page tribute to all the photographers,
models, and fetishists that have inspired him through his life: Nam Paik,
Weegee, Man Ray, Elmer Batters, Betty Page, Bunny Yeager, Eric Stanton,
John Willie, Irving and Paula Klaw, Bill Ward, and Marcel Duchamp, just to
name a few.
A glorious tribute to his predecessors it may be, it is nonetheless a
delicious exposé of the incredibly creative work that he himself has
created over the years. Beautiful, succulent beauties are flaunted
throughout, adorned in an endless variety of kinky clothing and erotic
toys. And they are bound, they are knotted-up, they are bent over,
spread-eagled, spanked, shaved, and suckled. They pose powerfully as
dominators; innocuously as sexual furniture; and provocatively as they
shove their crotches in our face.
Through it all, Eric Kroll's talent as a photographer and portraitist
stands paramount. And we are left with what might be his finest
publication to date and a book that is unquestionably a must have
for any serious collector. And Taschen is set to release a version in
hardcover for the first time ever later this month.
