Author:
Title: Wet: The Magazine of Gourmet Bathing
Place Published: Venice, CA
Publisher:Wet Enterprises
Date Published: 1977-80
Description:


18 volumes. Includes issues: 4, 5, 10-12, 14 -23 (with 2 copies each of issues 4, 19, and 20). Profusely illustrated from photographs, artwork, illustrated ads, etc. Issues 15 and earlier are quarto, later issues folio; pictorial wrappers.



Scarce large run of Leonard Koren's revered Venice, California lifestyle magazine. Running for thirty-four issues between 1976 and 1981, Wet is "notable for its prescient mixture of H2O and popular culture, mild nudity, fashion, and great ads for so many trendsetting (and mostly short-lived) L.A. boutiques." The August '79 issue features Blondie's Debbie Harry as the cover star.


Complete sets of WET are institutionally very rare. Worldcat lists no complete holdings worldwide. Comparable incomplete sets held by the Getty, Yale University, Harvard University and MoMA. More information on the publication can be found at: www.wetmagazine.com
