Explore Gatewood's Forbidden Photographs....,
By Rae Schwarz "post-modern Renaissance woman" (Seattle, WA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Forbidden Photographs (Paperback)
The original printing of Gatewood's Forbidden Photographs quickly sold out when it first debuted in 1981. At that point, Gatewood had spent nearly 20 years exploring scenes that were, then, totally underground. Bikers, tattoos, the late 60s sexual revolution. This books is also a bit of a historical document at this point, including such alternative scene celebs as Annie Sprinkle, Marco Vassi and tattooist Spider Webb, all contemporaries and collaborators with Gatewood during his New York residence. Images draw from New Orleans Mardi Gras, the NY disco scene and what would grow to become the Modern Primitive movement of the 90s. A worthy addition to anyone's alternative press collection...

Stunning, candid, look at one facet of underground culture,
By Kristen Weiser (Los Angeles, California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Forbidden Photographs (Paperback)
The black and white photography is spectacular. It is a great look into a subculture dominated by outrageous dress or undress, body modification, tattoos, piercings, and outright exhibition. Every photograph has a story to explain how the 28 photos came into existence and became part of the book. The copy I have is signed and numbered 1420 out of only 2000, so if you can get your hands on one, do because it might be hard to find eventually. It is a great conversation piece - not just for the photographs, but for the stories behind the shots as well. Not for the weak of heart, and absolutely hide this one from the kids.
