Mapplethorpe: Look at the Pictures

Un portrait du sulfureux photographe américain Robert Mapplethorpe, mort du sida en 1989, dont la vie était encore plus scandaleuse que ses photographies.

Program No. 61: Robert Mapplethorpe

A look at at the life and work of Robert Mapplethorpe, a world renowned and controversial photographer, who died of AIDS in 1989. It explores his photography, his relationship to the downtown New York art world, and the gay S&M club scene prevalent in the eighties. His infamously explicit pictures of the gay, leather, New York Underground were considered groundbreaking and made him a cause celebre. Mapplethorpe’s portraits, flowers, erotic subject matter and artistic presentation, elevated the photograph to serious art, worthy of exhibition in galleries and museums..
