First and only edition of this stunning privately-issued 1979 Japanese hardcover collection of erotic fantasy art, edited and written by Yoshiki Yamamoto. Upon retiring from the Sanyo Electric Railway Company in 1976, Yamamoto devoted himself to the art that he loved and to complete an intimate book study that traces an important lineage of artists of "eros fantasy", focussing on 16 key artists through profusely illustrated chapters, linking artists of the fin de siècle, symbolism, surrealism, and their descendants. A total labour of love. There is no other book like it. "Artists Who Decorate My Secret Room" features profusely illustrated full chapters on Gustave Moreau, Félicien Rops, Gustav Klimt, Franz von Bayros, Egon Schiele, Paul Delvaux, Hans Bellmer, Felix Labisse, Pierre-Yves Trémois, Leonor Fini, Paul Wunderlich, Ernst Fuchs, Tomi Ungerer, H.R. Giger, Raymond Bertrand, Gilles Rimbault, including profiles, many artworks, portraits and texts by Yamamoto, closing with a chronology of further artists and authors through the centuries.

Average—Good copy due to the back hardcover board being reattached. Good dust jacket with the usual wear and tanning of this title, otherwise the book block is VG throughout — crisp and clean.

First edition of this catalogue raisonne of lithographs by German painter, sculptor and graphic artist, Paul Wunderlich (1927—2010). Illustrated heavily throughout, this wonderful and extensive reference book of graphic works by Wunderlich was compiled by the artist, together with gallerist Dieter Brusberg, and accompanied by texts from art historians and philosophers Max Bense, Hanns Theodor Flemming, Fritz J. Raddatz, Frank Whitford, and others.

Paul Wunderlich (1927—2010) is known for his erotic, Surrealist-inspired paintings, prints, and sculptures featuring mythological imagery. A pioneer of Magic Realism, Wunderlich received the Japan Cultural Forum Award and the Kunstpreis des Landes Schleswig-Holstein among other accolades. Despite his iconic works being held in some of the world’s most prominent museums, such as the Museum of Modern Art, the British Museum, and the Victoria and Albert Museum, Wunderlich remains an “artist’s artist.” He studied graphic arts at the University of Fine Arts in Hamburg; he later learned printmaking techniques from Oskar Kokoschka and Emil Nolde. His early paintings displayed an abstract, Tachist style, although he embraced figuration in the late 1950s and he developed his characteristic style. He portrayed dismembered figures and sexually provocative imagery reminiscent of the Surrealists, but also influenced art movements such as Art Deco and Art Nouveau. His work was critically received as so scandalous that, in 1960, his lithograph series Qui s’explique (1959) was seized by authorities in Hamburg, and he often had trouble with raids that destroyed his works. Paul Wunderlich was married to photographer Karin Székessy in 1971, and the couple pursued art projects together.

Average copy as the fragile glue has deteriorated and many pages are loose, though all are present.
