First 1987 edition of Buying Love or Love for Sale, "Liebe Zu Kaufen," published in this edition only, only in Germany. Wonderful collection of photographic folios by three female and seven male photographers documenting the world of prostitution. Features the work of Jérôme De Perlinghi, Jean-Jacques Dicker, Michael von Graffenried, Roswitha Hecke, Barbara Kramp, Vivienne Maricevic, Urs Marty, Andrzej Tyszko, Alberto Venzago, Christian Vogt.
"Prostitution, not only the oldest profession, but also one that has always fascinated photographers. This book shows how this subject is approached and "seen" by these various photographers, and what personal motivations and experiences lie behind their photographic work."
Edited by Volker Wachs with an essay by Markus Imboden.
Very Good copy with some wear to extremities.
