Catalogue of the exhibition 'Love's Body: Rethinking Naked and Nude in Photography' held at the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography from 12 November 1998 to 17 January 1999. This exhibition explores the nude in photographic expression, concentrating not on traditional styles but on the visual dynamics of nude photography. It looks at the existing framework of nude photography and its history through the eyes of women - not just the erotic or sexual, but from a relative and subjective viewpoint.

Artist biographies are included.

Other participating artists include E.J. Bellocq, Alfred Stieglitz, Peter Hujar, Robert Mapplethorpe, David Wojnarowicz, Catherine Opie, Jean Fraser, Jeanne Dunning, Lynn Bianchi, Mary Duffy, Cheryl Dunye, Su Friedrich, Barbara Hammer, Sadie Benning.
