Altars

Robert Mapplethorpe's reputation was based on a body of black and white prints, including portraits and sexual imagery. From the start of his career he was working with colour, making collages and then polaroids and colour photographs, few of which have been seen. Altars presents this colour work, together with his final work which consisted of unique prints, elaborately framed and mounted on multiple coloured panels. This is a companion volume to Mapplethorpe .
