Nobuyoshi Araki — Obscenities (猿襲写真集), 1994 First Edition

A rare first edition of Obscenities by Nobuyoshi Araki (荒木経惟), one of the most provocative and internationally celebrated photographers of the 20th century. Published in 1994 as a special issue of the influential Japanese photography magazine Déjà-vu, this bold publication brings together some of Araki's most confrontational and transgressive imagery — a defining statement from an artist who consistently pushed the boundaries of photography, desire, and taboo.
