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.

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
