Synopsis:

The early 1970s witnessed the emergence and convergence of body art, performance, earth art, video, narrative, and photography based art that sought to break the stronghold of minimalism (an art of pure form and materials) and conceptualism (the art of pure idea). In this context, Robert Mapplethorpe was an artist who infused art with personal reference, subjective expression, and allusion to real time and emotion. Among the foremost subjects and objects that Mapplethorpe pursued were the self the body, body parts, sexual organs, and sexuality....AUTOPORTRAIT confirms Mapplethorpe's aesthetic alignment with other artists of his generation, while simultaneously presenting Mapplethorpe's singular vision that helped shift the direction of late twentieth century art.

CONDITION: New in publisher's shrink-wrap. Out of print. From the publisher: "Robert Mapplethorpe is best known for his intentionally shocking, often sculptural erotica and his exquisite minimalist floral images. His earliest and most frequent subject was himself, in various guises that celebrated his ego, his body, and his sexual preferences. Taken in the early 1970s, these 65 self-portraits, most previously unpublished, create a window into the soul of a complex artist, and present Mapplethorpe's singular vision that helped shift the direction of late-20th-century art. As with all Arena Editions publications, this book features top-of-the-line production values, with beautiful papers, printing, and binding. Bookseller Inventory # 101364
