THE BOOK THE WORLD WANTS. TRANSFORMER: ASPEKTE DER TRAVESTIE. IT WAS EXTRAORDINARY IN 1974. IT IS EXTRAAMAZING NOW. WHEN THE ART WORLD AND THE ROCK SCENE CROSSED OVER. TO CREATE. A SUPERLOOK SUPERBOOK!

This book is its own legend. Acutely rare, its scarcity sharpened to a point by how desperately it is wanted. And with the Walter Pfeiffer photographed cover and the lipstick red text. It is the supercool superbook.

The genderless agenda of Luciano Castelli. The Italian artist was his own subject producing a series of self-portraits throughout the seventies. Portraits of the artist as a young woman.

The trans-stars representing for the rock world include Mick Jagger, David Bowie, the New York Dolls and in painted glory above, Brian Eno.

Castelli in colour. The few pages of colour are so perfectly printed and richly saturated. They appear like stills from Bertolucci movies.

The polka dot portrait of David Bowie. You could buy the book for this page alone. But that would equally apply to some fifty or more other pages. It is THIS MUCH AND MORE better than most/any other books!

The book is Swiss - the exhibition was staged at Luzern - the artist Urs Lüthi is Swiss. His pages open the book and set the tone. This picture has magic powers (obviously). See more of the book on this link and try and buy on the button below.
