The definitive collection of Robert Mapplethorpe’ s flower photographs in a sophisticated new edition Robert Mapplethorpe is one of the twentieth century’ s most important artists known for his ground-breaking and provocative work. He studied painting drawing and sculpture in Brooklyn in the 1960s and started taking photographs when he acquired a Polaroid camera in 1970. Beginning in 1973 and until his death in 1989 Mapplethorpe explored the flower with extraordinary dedication using a range of photographic processes – from Polaroids to dye-transfer color works. In carefully constructed compositions he captured roses orchids snapdragons daisies tulips and other species – both common and rare – and forever transformed the way we perceive a classic and familiar subject. The result – a stunning body of work – is collected in this elegant book with a foreword by Mapplethorpe’ s close friend Dimitri Levas and an introduction by Herbert Muschamp. |The definitive collection of Robert Mapplethorpe’ s flower photographs in a sophisticated new edition| Mark Holborn is an editor and designer of books as well as a writer who has worked internationally with many leading artists and photographers.
