16x16 inches.
Signed by Robert Mapplethorpe on verso. (c) 1983, printed 1987. Editioned '3/10' with photographer's estate stamp verso.
The surfaces of his prints offer a seemingly endless gradation of blacks and whites, shadow and light, and regardless of subject, his images are both elegant and provocative. Any soft focus was achieved via diffusion during the enlarging process. His search for beauty in his photography is undeniable although sometimes, due to the explicit subject matter, this can be hard to appreciate for the faint hearted.
Condition: Paper loss down the left hand side, which could be matted out by the buyer. There is a scratch across the face.
