A favourite of ours at Bandits, we've just listed this gem from Richard Kern, the legendary photographer and filmmaker whose raw, provocative work helped shape New York's underground art scene. This 2017 Taschen release revives Kern's cult 2007 classic, Action, a defining collection of his unfiltered portraiture and erotic visual storytelling. Across 240 pages, Kern captures candid, unguarded moments with his subjects in familiar domestic spaces rather than carefully constructed sets, creating a body of work that feels both personal and confrontational. Exploring themes of youth, sexuality and rebellion, Action remains an influential piece of underground photography history and a must-have for collectors of contemporary photography and counterculture.
