Sexy Dreams
(1992 - Taschen)

Not appropriate for children or adolescents. 72 art pages in an 80-page book, with only four of those being for multiple smaller images. Almost every one of the eight double-page spreads seem ill-advised - what they would have lost in size, if held to one page, would have been made up for in needed cohesion. All works are captioned with only the artist's name. Textwise, there are only 5 pages and they include the foreword and brief artist biographies (all written in English, German & French). While one might critique all these works as tasteful, enough of them have a 'come-hither-for-no-misinterpreted-purpose' salaciousness, to have me recommend that the book be put away from children, if owned. 'Well-presented' artists here are: Chris Achilleos (6)***, Araida, Phillip M. Awuy (4), Olivia De Berardinis (12)***, Masahiko Fujii, Noboru Ikeuchi (4), Yasuhiro Kagami, Hideaki Kodama, Junichi Murayama (3), Keui Nakagawa, Seji Nakamura (4), Noboru Nonaka, Oshikuni Okubo, Sadao Sato (2), Boris Vallejo (3)*, Harumi Yamaguchi (2), Akira Yokoyama (6), Zappy

* - Note that all of the 'well-presented' selections here by Boris can additionally be found so in his own collections on The List.
*** - Note that of the 'well-presented' pieces here by Achilleos, and Olivia, some, but not all, can additionally be found so in their own collections on The List.
