About This Item
Boston: Bulfich Press/Little Brown & Co, 1990. First edition. Hardcover. A near fine copy in a near fine, clean dust jacket. 4to. 50 color illustrations. A breathtaking collection of flower photographs by Mapplethorpe. All in color, some of his final work. Though his best known flower images were in black and white, this book reveals his genius in color. The photographs here range from images of the early 1980s to many taken in the months before his death. The latter, in particular, are astounding in their intensity; here one finds both erotic drama and absolute clarity of composition, Mapplethorpe's gift at its most bold and uncompromising.
