In Exhibitionism hat Christopher Makos außergewöhnliche Männer-Fotografien versammelt und ein visuelles Meisterwerk geschaffen. Die Auswahl bemerkenswerter Kunstwerke wird durch die Zusammenarbeit mit Calvin Klein ergänzt, der aufregende Männerfotografien mit außergewöhnlichen, abstrakten Formen kombiniert. Dieses Projekt ist das Ergebnis einer einzigartigen Kooperation zwischen zwei stilvollen Künstlern, die sich mit männlicher Erotik auseinandersetzen. Ausgehend von einer Foto-Ausstellung im Calvin-Klein-Flagship-Store in New York bietet der Bildband einen faszinierenden Einblick in das Schaffen dieser beiden Ikonen des modernen Designs. Die über 175 Fotografien, darunter brillante Schwarz-Weiß-Bilder, üppige Farbaufnahmen und sanfte Sepiatöne, wurden von Calvin Klein persönlich zusammengestellt und grafisch gestaltet, als wäre es eine vollständige Ausstellung im Miniformat. Drei persönliche Kommentare gewähren Einblicke hinter die Kamera und in die ungewöhnliche Welt von Makos' Fotostudio. Im einleitenden Vorwort erzählt Calvin Klein von den Anfängen ihrer Zusammenarbeit, während Glenn Albin, ein renommierter Kunstkritiker, Makos als „wahren Meister des Exhibitionismus“ würdigt.
