Featuring the work of Berlin along with images by Tom of Finland, Robert Mapplethorpe, and Andy Warhol, ‘Peter Berlin: Icon’ pays tribute to the man who in the early to mid-1970s revolutionized the landscape of gay male eroticism and became an international sensation. His self-portrait photography graced the covers of gay magazines, and defined a look that re-imagined a new masculinity among gay men and an emerging gay male culture. Peter Berlin was a self-created. Tailoring his own clothes to accentuate an already naturally defined physique, every part of his anatomy became showcased. Cruising was his career, and with a background in photography, Peter embarked on recording thousands of self-portraits. The book is edited by Michael Bullock is a writer and publisher of ‘BUTT’, ‘Pin-Up’, ‘Fantastic Man’, ‘Gentlewoman’, and ‘Apartamento’ magazines.
