THE PIERS ALVIN BALTROP Art & Sex the NY East Village Waterfront vtg 70s 80s Gay

Description: Gift quality. Brand New. Spain Import, my collection + BONUS: Gallery Exhibition Announcement card + Published by TF Editores, Madrid, 2015THE PIERS | the 1975-1986 photographs of Alvin Baltrop the former-sailor-turned-taxi-driver's photographs of the notorious, clandestine, anonymous NYC cruising spot Alvin was black and queer | virtually unknown during the artist's lifetime | Baltrop encountered only rejection "While the outside world saw New York as the glamorous playground of Studio 54, Warhol's Factory gang, Baltrop photographed the city's gritty flipside; a groundbreaking exploration of gay counterculture in New York in the 1970s and 80s. His work is an important part of both queer culture and the history of Manhattan itself. This definitive monograph, a powerful tribute to a long-forgotten world at the city's dilapidated margins. A significant book on queer art / lgbtq Gotham history; a peer of such artists as Peter Hujar, David Wojnarowicz as Rimbaud, Stanley Stellar, Leonard Fink, Arthur Tress, Delmas Howe and Shelly Seccombe; and the 'straight' artists, ranging from Gordon Matta-Clark to Vito Acconci, who made art there as well and responded to the same spaces." His work is little known and underpublished--mainly due to its unflinching subject matter. The Bronx-born photographer never achieved the success of Mapplethorpe, but while often explicit, his photographs are on a par with those of Nan Goldin and Enrique Metenides. Baltrop did more than document the world envisioned at the piers; he helped build it.... and unwilling to play the games necessary for success in the art world, Baltrop and his work - explicit but unabashedly romantic depictions of New York's gay and trans underground - never left the margins during his lifetime....Alvin Baltrop's emergence from obscurity should inspire more than nostalgia.
