Peek: Photographs from the Kinsey Institute
- Binding: Paperback
- Publisher: Arena Editions
- Publish date: 02/01/2000
Notwithstanding the strength of the institute's diverse holdings, the photography collection held a unique place in Kinsey's research. Counted among the 75,000 images that make up this collection today are numerous anonymous snapshots, photographic album books, photographically illustrated diaries, and nineteenth- and twentieth-century erotica from Europe and Asia, as well as works by well-known artists such as George Platt Lynes, Baron Wilhelm von Gloeden, and Joel-Peter Witkin.
Peek is the first survey of this rich visual resource of sexual and erotic imagery, which, until now, has been inaccessible to the general public. The 125 images presented here, along with accompanying texts by four scholars, demonstrate the various ways in which photography functioned at the institute. This fascinating and unprecedented publication makes clear the significance of Kinsey's lifework, placing the photographs in historical context and raising theoretical issues about Kinsey'sdirectives as a researcher, collector, and interpreter of the photographic image.
