A fascinating look at how Mapplethorpe and Munch, although
separated by many years, shared certain affinities in their lives
and artwork This revelatory catalogue delves into the many
affinities shared between two widely renowned and discussed
artists, Robert Mapplethorpe (1946-1989) and Edvard Munch
(1863-1944), whose intensely studied work has, until now, never
been considered in relation to one another. Mapplethorpe + Munch
brings to light how these two monumental figures curiously relate
on an existential level, in how they deal with questions concerning
sexuality, and in their way of utilizing self-portraiture as a
means to explore issues of personal identity. Featuring essays that
examine the thematic impulses behind the accompanying exhibition,
this publication establishes a previously unexplored association
between two equally contentious art figures, while working to
impart alternative perspectives and new insight into their
respective outputs. Although distinct in their legacies,
Mapplethorpe and Munch remain remarkably intertwined. Distributed
for Mercatorfonds Exhibition Schedule: Munch Museum, Oslo
