Description: "The watercolors, drawings and print portfolios presented in this publication are not only outstanding examples of their genre, but also an invaluable documentation of social mores and cultural history from the 17th century onwards. These works of erotic art from all over Europe are part of a major private collection built up over a period of many years. The main focus of this particular selection is on lesser known and rarely published material, open to a wide range of possible interpretation. In tracing the history of taboo, secrecy and prohibition, this book gives its readers access to material previously available only to scholars and specialists."--Jacket.
Notes: Exhibition held at the Frankfurter Kunstverein, Frankfurt am Main.

"This publication is the official catalogue to the exhibition Der kalte Blick--Erotische Kunst 17. bis 20. Jahrhundert (The cold gaze--Erotic art from the 17th to the 20th century), Frankfurt am Main"--Colophon.
