Exhibitionism

A startling and original collaboration, Exhibitionism marks the genius of two of the world's most stylish and impeccable artists - Christopher Makos and Calvin Klein.A daringly evocative and intimately sensual portraiture of the male form.Featuring over 175 photographs, ranging from brilliantly crisp black-and-white to luscious four-colour to softly muted sepia-tones.Exhibitionism emerged out of a provocative exhibition staged by Makos at the Calvin Klein flagship store in New York in 2001.Photo-edited by Calvin Klein (his first publishing endeavor of any kind), the book contains dazzling pairings of Makos still-life abstractions placed alongside male subjects.The result is a completely unique, visually stunning and thought-provoking examination of the human male in its individual and universal form.In Exhibitionism, Christopher Makos has created some of the most extraordinary photographs ever taken of male portraiture, producing an astonishing visual essay. But its not just the selection of these remarkable artworks that makes this collection special - it's the assembly and editing, finessed in partnership with Calvin Klein - which juxtaposes extraordinary photographs of men against extraordinary portraits of other man-made abstract forms.
