Portraits

description

Artist's book by Beth B published in conjunction with a two part show "Beth B: Portraits & Playthings," held at Deitch Gallery February 6 – March 8, 1997. "Portraits was composed of twenty-one black and white, and ten color photographs. These were abstract portraits of female genitals. By individuating this particular part of the anatomy, Beth B attempted to demystify this most vulnerable, private, and exploited part of the body. It looked to celebrate the seductive and sensual aspects reveling in the extraordinary distinctiveness of size, shape, contour, and coloration. These were portraits that revealed the uniqueness of our sexuality, capturing a moment of innocence, a feeling of precious beauty." --publisher's statement.
