The Erotic Print Society was founded in 1993 by two art dealers who had
curated the first exhibition of historic and contemporary erotic art in
London eight years before. Now with considerable knowledge of the field
they recognised that public access to great examples of the genre was becoming
more and more limited - increasingly the domain of restricted museum collections
and that of private collectors. At the same time they saw that there was,
in the UK at least, no real showplace for the erotic works of contemporary
artists. The general purpose of the Society is to bring these works to a
wider audience and within financial reach of most collectors. Erotica is
one of the last frontiers of art to be crossed and a serious investigation
is long overdue. Sex is a significant human activity and from prehistoric
times artists have given their own creative interpretation of the subject.
Erotic art is an intimate and personal examination of human sexuality in
all its rich diversity, a means of creative expression, whether serious
or light-hearted, provocative or inspirational. Western society tends to
suppress erotic imagery on the one hand, while on the other it exploits
it to the full, whether in advertising or pornography. To say that erotic
art celebrates, and pornography exploits, sex would be to over-simplify
a complex issue.
