A collection of the work of the late Robert Mapplethorpe, whose explicitly homoerotic photographs caused great controversy. He became what has been described as the equivalent of a court painter to the New York avant-garde, with an immense body of portraits of the leading artists of his time. He also photographed a private sexual arena, often abstracting the human body and desire with pure geometrical form, and his sensuality was extended into his studies of flowers, executed here in colour.
