Author and Photographer Ellen Jong must really love her husband—her new book is graphically entitled Getting To Know My Husband's Cock ($21). The sexual scrapbook, released as part of PS1's greater New York exhibition is the latest in a body of work that pushes the boundaries of self-discovery. With a career that includes a stint at Surface and shows at White Box and Robert Miller, it's clear that the artist is not just a sensationalist, despite the titles of her earlier works, including BLT (Behind the Lips and Titties), and Pees On Earth. The tome, a limited edition of 100, includes shots of Jong and her husband, a diary of sorts that's a personal account of a romance from a collection of private, and very, very dirty photographs (we mean really dirty). Famed art collector Cindy Gallop, who wrote the forward, is convinced the genre could definitely be expanded, suggesting that readers should create their own sexual narrative, including Getting To Know My Wife's Pussy . Somehow, we think we'll pass, but if you're interested in getting some inspiration, you can buy a copy and peep the book here.
