Taschen’s “New Erotic Photography”

The art connoisseurs at Radar get a juicy sneak peek at Taschen's latest coffee table extravaganza, "The New Erotic Photography", in which co-curators Dian Hanson and Eric Kroll (himself no slouch when it comes to producing sexy nudes of his own) collect the best work of 82 photographers from around the world and remind us once again that "you can't spall TASCHEN without T & A!" (Their words, not ours.) Clocking it at over 600 pages, the book looks to be a welcome addition to the Fleshbot Central library of fine art babery and we're fairly frothing at the mouth in anticipation of our very own copy—because if there's one thing we like more than looking at boobs on our computer screen all day long, it's looking at boobs while we lounge in our leather recliner while sipping an extra dry Tanqueray martini with our hounds at our feet as a fire crackles gently in the hearth beside us. (Or sitting on the sofa in our underwear sucking down the dregs of a warm PBR, as the case may be. Still, we don't want you to give you the impression that we sit here in our underwear looking at boobs on the computer all the time.)
