Nobuyoshi Araki. Bondage. Art Edition 'Untitled 1992' Edition of 50 + 10 APs

US$4,000.00

Meaning literally, "the beauty of tight binding", Kinbaku-bi, the Japanese art of erotic bondage, has long fascinated Nobuyoshi Araki, who has made it one of his most important subjects. He’s been called a genius and a poet, and also a misogynist, a pornographer, a monster, but Araki’s work transcends simplistic moralistic classifications; he has said of his work: "There is no conclusion. It’s completely open. It doesn’t go anywhere." Whether literally or figuratively, his bound subjects are certainly immobilized, yet in the most tantalizing ways.
