See my other listings for other Robert Mapplethorpe and other iconic LGBTQ artists of the early 1980's and 70's Robert Mapplethorpe became infamous for his transgressive black-and-white photographs, which often celebrated the artist’s queer community. During the 1970s and ’80s, he photographed himself and his New York City coterie, which included musicians such as Patti Smith (his one-time Chelsea Hotel roommate), artists, socialites, porn stars, and members of the gay S&M underground. While his content could be shocking, Mapplethorpe was also highly attuned to his medium’s formal, more traditional elements; his pictures are deeply concerned with composition, color, texture, balance, and beauty. This is particularly evident in his later studio photography, which features nudes, flowers and formal portraits. After the artist’s death from AIDS-related illness in 1989, Mapplethorpe’s work precipitated national controversy when it was included in “The Perfect Moment,” a traveling exhibition funded by the National Endowment for the Arts. Since then, his legacy has been cemented with exhibitions at the Guggenheim. At auction, Mapplethorpe’s work regularly sells for six figures. Museum, Kunsthal Rotterdam, Tate Modern, and Musée Rodin Vintage postcards and greeting cards may have small differences ie; yellowing of paper, worn edges, dogears. Basic wear and tear from storage of vintage cards. I will always send the best quality card I have. The picture is of a postcard like the one you will receive not necessarily the one you will receive. Unless I have previously specified. I will never send a bent, ripped or damaged card unless specifically mentioned. I always inspect every item I send out for quality and ship with care, shipping how I would like to receive an item. Please message me with any questions or concerns. Thank you.
