Description

Tracing the upward push of business fetish art from its shadowy beginnings within the 1940s to its acceptance within the 1970s, this illustrated biography explores the radical life and art of Eric Stanton, a pioneering sexual fantasist who assisted in shaping the movement. With more than 400 rare images and interviews with Stanton’s circle of relatives and closest associates, this biography chronicles the infamous circle of patrons, publishers, and cult icons populating his subterranean world, including Irving Klaw, John Willie, Bettie Page, Steve Ditko, and Gene Bilbrew. It’s the untold, secret history of a misunderstood culture, the abuses of presidency authority, social intolerance, and gangsters. But above all, this is a tale about survival against all odds and an artist who had the courage to stick true to himself.
