The definitive collection of Robert Mapplethorpe's flower photographsin a sophisticated new editionRobert 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.

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.Specifications: Format: Hardback; Size: 308 292 mm (12 1/8 11 1/2 in); Pages: 368 pp; Illustrations: 200 illustrations; ISBN: 9781838668211;.
