Mapplethorpe
New York: Random House, 1995
First printing
The intense career of Robert Mapplethorpe, cut short by HIV at the age of 42, is described against the background of his dangerous friendships and the outlaw nature of the 70s gay scene in Manhattan and San Francisco.
His fascinating love affair with Patti Smith becomes the central strand of this compassionate look at a doomed artist's obsessions, creating photographic masterpieces along the way.
