Title: Eugene Von Bruenchenhein: King of Lesser Lands.
Description: Andrew Edlin Gallery, 2016. 32 x 24 cm. 162 pp. Clothbacked boards. Illustrated in b/w and colour throughout. - 'King of Lesser Lands' traces the fugitive career of Eugene Von Bruenchenhein (1910-1983), a prolific creator of a diverse range of distinctive images and sculptural objects, who produced his art in private over a period of about 50 years at his home in Wisconsin. His large and unusual body of work was not discovered until after he died. At the age of 29, Von Bruenchenhein met Evelyn Kalka. She became his wife and muse. Evelyn, who was nicknamed 'Marie', served as his model and the subject of erotic photo-portraits, which he shot and printed himself. For these images, which emulated girlie-magazine pinups with an offbeat air, he designed and created his own background sets and costumes for Marie. - Fine copy
