First Edition / First Printing. As New in As New Dust Jacket. 280 pages. Retrospective collection of all-male portrait-photographs. One of the most beautiful collections of its kind of our time. Limited Clamshell Box Edition of 60 numbered and signed copies. The limitation is indicated not on the book but on the archival print that was produced by Greg Gorman specifically for the edition. Should not be confused with the regular trade edition. The Limited Edition is now rare. A brilliant production by Greg Gorman and Editore Damiani: Oversize-volume format. Photographs by Greg Gorman. Essay, "The Moment of Beauty", by Peter Weiermair. Inner linen clamshell cloth box, which contains the book in the recessed center. Original 13 X 17 inch photographic print of Christopher Atkins encased in its own black folio and laid within the box. Outer cardboard box, which protects the easily soiled linen cloth box, but is missing in many copies of the Limited Edition. Printed on thick, glossy stock paper in Bologna, Italy to the highest standards. In pictorial DJ with gilt titles on the cover and spine, as issued. Presents, in its ultimate collectible format, Greg Gorman's "In Their Youth". His eighth collection, a celebration of masculine beauty at its absolute peak, that is, "in their youth". "Comprises over 200 of the photographer's previously unpublished portraits from the last three decades, featuring famous actors shot when they were still unknown young men. Gorman's intimate celebrity portraits hinge on the sense of his subjects' vulnerability" (Publisher's blurb). "I decided to do a project that expressed my infatuation with male beauty, especially in terms of youth. The portraits don't have lots of backgrounds, they're straightforward. It's really about the person, not the elements. It boils down to the graphics of the individual more than the graphics of the setting" (Greg Gorman). They are all here, today's biggest stars, and the starlets who would give them a run for their money if looks were the sole measure. An absolute "must-have" title for Greg Gorman collectors. This copy is one of the Limited Clamshell Box Edition, indicated as such on the original 13 X 17 inch photographic print that is very prominently and beautifully numbered and signed in pencil on verso by Greg Gorman. It is also very prominently, beautifully, and uniquely signed by Christopher Atkins. This title is a contemporary erotic art photography classic. This is one of few copies of the Limited Edition still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright, a pristine beauty. Please note: As is his custom, Gorman did NOT sign the book itself. The print alone ensures that this edition's value will keep going up. A rare signed copy thus. 200 plates, 1 original print. One of the finest American photographers of our time. A fine collectible copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER GREG GORMAN TITLES IN OUR CATALOG). ISBN 8862081413.
