Publisher: Larry Clark, New York Year: 1987 Artist: CLARK~(Lawrence Donald)Larry Larry Clarck, TEENAGE LUST An Autobiography of Larry Clark. 2e ed., Self-published, 1987. Paperback. Stiff Wraps. Unpaginated. Second edition Near Fine. This second edition contains thirteen additional plates not found in the first edition (1983.) According to Clark: The first edition. "seemed incomplete to me. I prefer the second." Clark's second book, Teenage Lust (1983), was subtitled 'An Autobiography of Larry Clark,' though it is not autobiographical in any conventional sense. It includes early family snapshots and follows a rough biographical chronology, but Clark's primary intention seems to be to 'turn back the years' and to relive moments of his own teen past through images of others. This installation shows the photographs and other materials that were used to make the original book. Roughly divided into three sections, Teenage Lust begins with Clark's family photographs and his move to New York City: then contrasts his various run-ins with the law with his quest for a utopian hippie life in New Mexico: and concludes with a powerful and touching series of portraits of young male hustlers in the Times Square area. More sprawling, experimental, and explicit than Tulsa, Teenage Lust has at its core the rawness, vulnerability, and uncertainty of adolescence, a key strain that runs throughout Clark's work.
