Altars
First edition of Altars by Robert Mapplethorpe (1995). First impression. Hardback in fine condition, slight wear to the back of the book jacket. Comes in a slipcase. Otherwise pages are clean and binding is sturdy. Please see photos for reference.
About
This full-color reflection of Mapplethorpe's geometric formality and underlying religiosity provides an insight into the art and career of the artist that previous black-and-white volumes cannot. An accompanying essay by Esmund White puts Mapplethorpe into historical, social, sexual, and artistic context.
