{"product_id":"phaidon-mapplethorpe-flora-phaidonmulti","title":"Phaidon \"Mapplethorpe Flora: The Complete Flowers\" Book","description":"The definitive collection of Robert Mapplethorpe’s flower photographs in a sophisticated new edition\nRobert Mapplethorpe is one of the twentieth century’s most important artists, known for his ground-breaking 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.\nIn carefully constructed compositions, he captured roses, orchids, snapdragons, daisies, tulips and other species – both common and rare – and forever transformed the way we perceive a classic and familiar subject. The result – a stunning body of work – is collected in this elegant book, with a foreword by Mapplethorpe’s close friend Dimitri Levas and an introduction by Herbert Muschamp.\nSpecifications:\nFormat: Hardback\nSize: 308 × 292 mm (12 1\/8 × 11 1\/2 in)\nPages: 368 pp\nIllustrations: 200 illustrations\nISBN: 9781838668211","brand":"Phaidon","offers":[{"title":"O\/S \/ Multi","offer_id":68177932779770,"sku":"0041970450","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0878\/7417\/5226\/files\/Screenshot-2024-08-21-at-12.19.40PM_R.webp?v=1794460735","url":"https:\/\/us.salenyderal.shop\/products\/phaidon-mapplethorpe-flora-phaidonmulti","provider":"Todd Snyder Online Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
