About the book

The definitive collection of Robert Mapplethorpe’s flower photographs

Robert Mapplethorpe (1946–1989) is one of the twentieth century’s most important artists, known for his groundbreaking and provocative work. He studied painting, drawing, and sculpture in Brooklyn in the 1960s and started taking photographs when he acquired a Polaroid camera, in 1970.

Beginning in 1973 and until his death in 1989, Mapplethorpe explored the flower with extraordinary dedication, using a range of photographic processes — from Polaroids to dye-transfer color works.
