Art And Obscenity

In this provocative book, Kerstin Mey grapples with the work of twentieth century artists working at the edges of acceptability, including Hans Bellmer, Nobuyoshi Araki, Robert Mapplethorpe, Annie Sprinkle, Hermann Nitsch, and Paul McCarthy. Mey refuses sweeping statements and "kneejerk" responses, arguing with dexterity that some works, regardless of their "high art" context, remain deeply problematic, while others are both groundbreaking and liberating.Mey, Kerstin is the author of 'Art And Obscenity ', published 2006 under ISBN 9781845112349 and ISBN 1845112342.
