Product Information

Peter Berlin revolutionized the landscape of gay male eroticism in the tradition of Tom of Finland Peter Berlin was a self-created icon. With his trademark pageboy haircut and his skin-tight costumes that put every detail of his anatomy on display (designed and tailored by Berlin himself to accentuate his already naturally defined physique), he became a gay sex symbol and a walking work of art. Cruising was his career, and with a background in photography, Berlin began taking thousands of erotic self-portraits in the parks, train stations and streets of Berlin, Rome, Paris, New York and San Francisco, where he settled in the early 1970s. As Berlin put it, "One day I looked at a camera and said, 'I have found my dream lover.'" Berlin's '70s and '80s self-portrait photography graced the covers of gay magazines, defining a look and a reimagined masculinity in a changing gay male culture. Spotlighting Berlin's significant body of work alongside images by Tom of Finland, Robert Mapplethorpe and Andy Warhol, Peter Berlin: Icon, Artist, Photosexual pays tribute to the man who revolutionized the landscape of gay male eroticism and became an international sensation. The book is designed by Omar Sosa, Creative Director of Apartamento magazine, and is edited by Michael Bullock, writer and publisher of BUTT , Pin-Up , Fantastic Man and Gentlewoman magazines. Carl Swanson, Editor-at-Large for New York Magazine , contributes a biographical text. Artist, model and filmmaker Peter Berlin , nee Armin Hagen Freiherr von Hoyningen Huene (born 1942), created some of the most legendary erotic imagery of his day. What began as studies in self-portraiture and fashion design in the name of cruising, by the early 1970s had turned into a robust artistic practice that included the creation of two films-- Nights in Black Leather (1973) and That Boy (1974)--and innumerable photographs, paintings and illustrations.

Reviews
Flipping through Icon, Artist, Photosexual is like toggling the controller of a Playstation 2 with a fistful of lube. Berlin is a Sims-esque character that crash-landed in Area 51. The bulges are out of this world, the fashion extraterrestrial, and the phallic imagery a rocket ship that blasts off through Berlin's body and body of work., [I]n the hazy, carefree dawn of the 70s, he pioneered the self-mythologising culture we all live in today. Before social media, before selfies, he was transforming himself in front of his camera into the star of his own fantasy narrative - and he did it all dressed in handcrafted weapons of mass arousal., [Peter Berlin] has made his name as a notorious gay sex icon of the 1970s and 1980s - a man recognised for his self-portraiture, film and erotica that defies all norms of sexuality ...What he's left behind is a legacy - an incredible archive of imagery that depicts the history and life of a young male navigating through his identity., Berlin's true crisis of faith: the reality that the world never embraced his utopic idea of sexual freedom, cruising, and sex. He sees the world as being robbed of pleasure by politics, jobs, and responsibilities., The 1970s gave birth to Gay Pride, a sensibility beautifully echoed in the self-portraits of Peter Berlin. The licentious libertine possessed with thick blonde hair, chiseled good looks, and a body that just wouldn't quit discovered photography and immediately in love with the image of himself. Like Narcissus, there was nothing Berlin loved so much as to faze upon the character he constructed in the form of a gay porn star., Against the sotto voce background of current LGBTQ voices...comes this mostly forgotten statement of gay male libido, a violently subversive gesture. Promiscuity, even public sex, for the sake of sex alone, is currently the "dirty" unmentioned secret of today's activists who continue their efforts to transform gay liberation into gay assimilation., He was a sex symbol, photographer, pornographer, clothing designer, illustrator and more...But long before being shot by the who's-who of the 1970s queer art scene, Berlin simply took matters into his own hands: his images were, as we'd say today, selfies--creating an entirely new, joyfully narcissistic approach to self-portraiture., During the 1970s, Peter Berlin became a sex symbol of gay culture, a real-life Tom of Finland who photographed himself in parks, train stations and other cruising grounds., Berlin's cultural contributions were so many decades ahead of his time and so unique--not fitting cleanly into either the world of art or the world of pornography--that understanding their relevance and impact requires the invention of a new terminology. I propose the word photosexuality and aim to make the case that Berlin was the first acclaimed male photosexual and the leading pioneer of its practice., Upon moving to San Francisco in his early 30s, his super-powered libido, spectacular narcissism, and a lust for exhibitionism came together in a perfect storm to create Peter Berlin. From then on, he lived his life as his sexual alter-ego, and he took on his new identity with militant dedication.
