About the The Perfect Childhood by Larry Clark
Larry Clark is known for documenting the darker side of American culture, focusing on topics like drug use, poverty and sexuality. Clark rose to prominence following his groundbreaking 1971 photobook 'Tulsa' and the 1994 film 'Kids.' Focused on the rage, pleasure and desire of adolescent boys, 'The Perfect Childhood' is a collage-like artbook, consisting of portraits, externally sourced celebrity media and newspaper clippings on juvenile crime and death. Originally published by the revered and now-defunct imprint Scalo, the volume also includes black-and-white photography from Clark's seminal 'Tulsa' and 'Teenage Lust' collections. This book has been sourced by Hi-Bridge Books, an appointment-only rare media archivist and bookstore located in Tokyo.
