A fascinating look at one of photography's most controversial and
beloved iconsThe legacy of Robert Mapplethorpe (1946-1989) is rich
and complicated, triggering controversy, polarizing critics, and
providing inspiration for many artists who followed him. One of the
most influential figures of his time, today Mapplethorpe stands as
an example to emerging photographers who continue to experiment
with the boundaries of acceptability and concepts of the
beautiful.Robert Mapplethorpe: The Photographs offers a timely and
rewarding examination of his oeuvre and influence. Drawing from the
extraordinary collection jointly acquired in 2011 by the J. Paul
Getty Museum and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art from the
Robert Mapplethorpe Foundation, as well as the Mapplethorpe Archive
housed at the Getty Research Institute, the authors were given the
unique opportunity to explore new resources and present fresh
perspectives. The result is a fascinating introduction to
Mapplethorpe's career and legacy, accompanied by a rich selection
of illustrations covering the remarkable range of his photographic
work.All of these beautifully integrated elements contribute to
what promises to become an essential point of access to
Mapplethorpe's work and practice. This publication is issued on the
occasion of the exhibition Robert Mapplethorpe: The Perfect Medium
on view at both the J. Paul Getty Museum and at the Los Angeles
County Museum of Art from March 15 through July 31, 2016; at the
Musee des Beaux-Arts de Montreal from September 9, 2016, through
January 7, 2017; and at the Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney,
from October 2017 through February 2018.
