Terryworld by Taschen Books

 

 

Due to Taschen Books timely 25th Anniversary this year we are graced with another opportunity to look into the intricate and sometime devilish mind of one of New York's most self expressive photographers. Leaving literally no perversion untouched Terry Richardson's Terryworld brings us closer to the extremes of sexual expression.  Maybe because Terry's mom dated Jimi Hendrix or possibly for some other reason but Mr. Richardson brings is more freedom of sexual expression than the orgy tent at Woodstock. Occasionally thrown into the pages are looks into the deep seeded personalities of several celebrities as well. 

** Warning don't try the Little Boy Blue totally naked over the fire at home!**

Terryworld

 Who took 1970’s porn esthetic and made it fashion chic? Terry Richardson. Who made the trailer park trendy and the tractor hat de rigueur? Richardson again. Who’s equally at home in Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, Purple and Vice? Our boy Terry. Who uses his fashion money to fund an X-rated website? Yes, Richardson. And who can’t resist getting his clothes off and jumping in front of his own lens? Well, that would be Terry Richardson as well.

Porn stars, supermodels, transsexuals, hillbillies, friends, pets, and celebrities all do for his lens what they’ll do for no other. And if anyone ever wonders why they did it, just blame it on Terryworld, where taboos are null and void, and fashion finds sex a perfect fit.

Includes over 70 new photographs not featured in the original edition
