In a seven page pictorial titled Gallo's Girls, Playboy magazine features eight epoxy resin sculptures by Frank Gallo, an artist who "captures the elusive essence of feminine grace."   The introductory section of the pictorial states:    

The female figures of Illinois sculptor Frank Gallo exude a sensuous eroticism that belies their aura of beguiling innocence and naiveté. This is the way he sees modern woman--the subject of almost all his work. "The feminine form," says Gallo, "is the only indestructible and inspiring resource of simple beauty left to me," (repeating the same refrain from the January 1967 issue of Playboy. )

Many of the featured sculptures had already appeared in national and international exhibitions, to much popular and critical acclaim.  At the conclusion of the pictorial, Gallo says of his creations:

"I don't intellectualize my work.  The figures are simply objects of adoration."  

The eight Gallo sculptures featured in the article appear below; when possible and/or available, images of the sculptures from museums or online listings have been used (rather than the photographs from the Playboy issue).

In a two page pictorial titled Frank Gallo, Sexpressionist, Playboy magazine introduced readers to Gallo's most recent foray into things feminine, sensuous, and beautiful, namely his collection of sculptures, Twelve Erotic Fantasies, created in 1974, and first exhibited by Circle Gallery, LTD.  According to Gallo, "I'm interested in the beauty of the female figure, and I'm trying to express it the way I see it.  I think I feel it more poignantly than a lot of people."  These sculptures were much more delicate than his previous works, adhering much closer in scale and contour to the female form. . . . in truth, Gallo's new vision embraced "the erotic."  The following brief text introduced the two page pictorial:       

Back in November of 1970, when we ran a seven-page feature on the sensuous sculptures of Frank Gallo, the artist described the female form as "the only ... inspiring resource of simple beauty left to me."  Today, more than four years later, Gallo feels much the same, although his vision has expanded to include the erotic.  "A self-indulgent cathartic expression" is the way he characterizes his series of miniature sculptures Twelve Erotic Fantasies, several of which appear on these pages.

The Playboy pictorial included photographs of five of the Twelve Erotic Fantasies (pictured below) each with an accompanying quote from Gallo or a brief explanatory statement about the piece.  The twelve fantasies encompassed:  1) Dream One through Dream Four, 2) Rescue One and Rescue Two, 3) Visitation One through Visitation Three, 4) Eros Visiting Earth, 5) Night Visitor, and 6) Rocket Man.  

Interestingly, Gallo used the words "chauvinistic" and "self-indulgent" to describe selected pieces.
