Taschen's Forbidden Erotica is a curated collection of erotic art and photography that was censored, banned, or suppressed across different eras and cultures. Through stunning reproductions and historical context, the book reveals how societies have attempted to control sexual expression and how artists have resisted censorship. The collection becomes both art historical document and meditation on freedom of expression, proving that what's forbidden often reveals more about power than morality.

WHY WE PICKED IT: Because censorship tells us what societies fear most. This collection reminds us that forbidden art is often the most important, and that the fight for sexual expression is inseparable from the fight for artistic freedom.
