Product Information

And this book was originally made to benefit the AIDS Resource Center in NYC, so what's not to love? His work is recognizable from the popular black and white Calvin Klein ads in the 1980s and 90s, but also Ralph Lauren and Versace campaigns. The cases were settled and Weber denied all accusations, but many of his former brands will no longer work with him. He first rose to fame for his barely-there Calvin Klein ads that took the fashion industry by storm in the 1980s and 90s.

Weber was openly gay, and Bear Pond was published to benefit the AIDS Resource Center in New York, according to the review. A lifelong love of the written word brought her to Biblio and she happily spends her days talking about books and delving into the wide world of antiquarian books. Light rubbing wear to corners and edges of jacket, small surface tear to top front corner of jacket, tight and unmarked.He's still publishing books of his work, directing documentaries, and shooting magazine covers, including ICON magazine's April 2022 issue. It contained 100 of Weber’s photographs, comprised of landscape shots and figure studies (some NSFW). It was already a relatively rare photography book and this recent publicity has increased both its selling cost and decreased its availability.

Just one month later, 15 current and former models came forward and accused Weber of sexual harassment, per The New York Times.And in 2017, models started to come forward with claims of sexual harassment and assault against the photographer. Off-white cloth printed in white, with mint dustjacket protected in Mylar cover by the original retailer. It may seem somewhat singular to say that a book of male nudes by a gay photographer deals with innocence, particularly when the photographer was roundly criticized by many for his commercial images delineating the sensual beauty of the male body as well as — and even more so — those depicting what some termed a “teen-age drug culture,” but there you have it.

There is no escaping that this book (published, incidentally, in 1990 to benefit the AIDS Resource Center in New York) celebrates a vision at once romantic and fundamentally spiritual.
