About the Item

This evocative image by Robert Mapplethorpe features the model Thomas, captured in a graceful, slightly crouching pose. With a neutral backdrop accentuated by a geometric, diamond white shape, Mapplethorpe crafts a powerful contrast that highlights Thomas’s form and posture. Thomas is Thomas Williams, also known by the name Joe Simmons, one of Mapplethorpe’s recurring muses during the 1980s. Williams initially worked as a bodybuilder and aspiring actor before his image became widely recognized through Mapplethorpe’s photography. He later appeared in over 100 adult films under his alternate name. The photograph is presented in a white wood frame with a 1 inch front profile and a 3/4 inch side profile, set behind a 4 inch mat. The framing accentuates the image’s sculptural composition and enhances its refined visual impact—reflecting Mapplethorpe’s iconic blend of formality and intimacy.
