“100 Naked Girls” Reaches its 2nd Edition with a New Name

For its second run the title will be switched to "100 Nude Models", which was actually Petter's initial suggestion for the title of the book. 1st edition copies where sold out in less then a month, a record selling time for Swiss publisher, Edition Skylight. Executives are quoted as saying, "we will not underestimate Petter's selling power again."

"100 Naked Girls" follows the critically acclaimed "Luba", published by Edition Skylight in 2003. In this collection, Hegre continues his work in developing what he has described as the New Nude, a unique and instantly recognized style based firmly in reality: in real people captured in authentic situations. This series reveals images that are intimate and insightful, with a sense of drama and fun. Hegre's nudes are carvings in soft pliable flesh and evoke a primal relationship between the human form and its environment.

The second edition of this popular publication with the new title of "100 Nude Models" should be available in early 2006.
