"Bound like an antique medical text or prayer book, A History of Andres Serrano--A History of Sex is a finely crafted monograph with beautiful reproductions, fine paper, gilt edges, a red silk bookmark, maps, and pages for notes. It contains a broad representation of Serrano's work--from Piss Christ to the Morgue series--and two new series of work Istanbul and A History of Sex. The latter, for which this collection is named, contains some bizarre, explicitly sexual works--midgets, animals, bondage, clowns, priests, etc. Includes an interview with Xaviera Hollander, who rose to fame in the 1970's as the 'Happy Hooker.'"
