About the Item
Mapplethorpe by Robert Mapplethorpe, Introduction by Arthur Coleman Danto. Random House (NY)
Published: 1992. Hardcover with dust jacket. "Robert Mapplethorpe began taking photographs in 1970 with a Polaroid camera given to him by a friend. Nearly twenty years later, when Mapplethorpe died at the age of forty-two, he was considered one of the most important photographers of his time. His elegant and sometimes shocking nudes, the black-and-white portraits, flower still lifes, and images of sexual sadomasochism had been exhibited widely and were the subject of serious critical attention in Europe and America. A few months after his death, Mapplethorpe became the focus of an acrimonious debate over federal funding of the arts when an exhibition of his work was canceled by the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. The director of the Contemporary Arts Center in Cincinnati, Ohio, was subsequently acquitted of obscenity charges brought against him for presenting the same exhibition." "This is the definitive collection of Mapplethorpe's black-and-white photographs, drawing on the full range of his work, from the early Polaroids to the haunting self-portraits taken shortly before he died. It has been prepared in collaboration with the Robert Mapplethorpe Foundation, which was established by the artist to provide funds for AIDS research and photographic projects."--Dust Jacket. The definitive collection of nearly three hundred duotone photographs chronicles the development of Mapplethorpe's career, in a collection that includes his society portraits, nudes, floral still lifes, and explicit erotic images. 20,000 first printing. Renowned photographer Robert Mapplethorpe died in 1989. Here is the first collection--published with the cooperation of his estate--drawn from his entire career, including those explicit images that sparked a national debate on censorship and federal funding of the arts. 280 duotone photographs.
