Deborah Turbeville (b.1938)
The Bath House
Models wear fashion by Jean-Louis Scherrer, Stephen Burrows, André Courrèges and Emanuel Ungaro
American Vogue, 1975
In her series of photographs made in an abandoned New York bath house, Turbeville refers back to a long history of bathing scenes painted by male artists. The images caused outrage among contemporary critics, who believed the work promoted lesbianism and trivialized the horrors of the Holocaust gas chambers.
