Group of Seven Erotic Vernacular Polaroid Photographs. Circa 1970s–80s. Lot of seven color Polaroid photographs depicting an adult couple in intimate domestic interiors, shown in a range of staged and performative poses. The images capture playful, erotic scenarios with the pair posed on and around a bed, incorporating lingerie, costumes, and casual household settings including mirrors, dressers, and wall décor. The photographs reflect a private snapshot aesthetic characteristic of mid- to late-20th century Polaroid use, with an emphasis on spontaneity and personal expression. All are square-format Polaroids with integral white borders. Approximately 4 x 3 1/2".
