XXGirls by Richard Kern, first published in 1996 by Tokyo Gallery, Fiction Inc., is a rare and highly sought-after Japanese edition. This softcover photobook, consisting of 48 pages, was created as a means to circumvent Japanese censorship laws that had restricted the release of Kern’s earlier work, New York Girls. Featuring raw and intimate black-and-white portraits of young women from New York’s downtown art and music scene, the book captures the underground aesthetic that defined Kern’s early career. Enclosed in a translucent yellow acetate cover, this edition stands as a testament to Kern’s provocative visual style and remains a significant piece in the history of erotic and alternative photography.
