Book Description
This major, long out-of-print survey, widely regarded as the definitive overview of Mapplethorpe's black-and-white photography, is once again available in a new, updated edition. It presents a comprehensive selection of Mapplethorpe's nudes, portraits, self-portraits, floral still lifes and other works, including his best known and most controversial images. Mapplethorpe's choices were both innovative and bold, and his work has continued to resonate since his early death in 1989. His cutting-edge use of homoerotic and other challenging themes has become embedded in our culture, with pervasive echoes not only in the work of other artists but in mainstream advertising as well.

たしかにデカくていっぱい載ってるけど、でも「高等な（？）編集意欲」というものに欠けていて、ただただ作品たちは羅列されてるだけなんだもの。
ＳＭ、花、ポートレートとジャンル分けされているけれど、なんだか・・。
ページを捲ってるうちに溜息が洩れてきてしまって・・・。ふぅ。
「自分の芸術をアピールすることにかけては天才的だった」ロバートくんが死んでしまってから出版されたこの本は、やはりというか、細部に渡って凝っていません。
メイプルソープは大好きで、惹かれているけれど、この本はだめです。という結論なり。（日本ではこの本、アップリンクから邦訳されて出てるけど、同じ意味でだめです。）
付記：メイプルソープは好きなのに、なぜか「花」に関する本ばっかり出回っていて、物足りない、というひと結構いると思います。「花」ばっかりピックアップされてるのはやっぱりハードＳＭなんかより取っ付き易いから、と本を出す方が考えてのことでしょうが、私に言わせれば「花写真」はオマケとして撮ったようなもんで、ロバートを語るならば超ハードの革ジャンＳＭ男たちを見なければだめでしょう。
それらの男たちと、もちろん花と、そしてポートレート、女性・・。

メイプルソープの魅力的な写真集。彼の作品のなかには「悪趣味」とさえ思えるものもあるかも知れないけれど、本書はけっこう出来のイイ粒よりの写真が揃っています。

Worth the expense but a bit disappointing
2000/7/14
形式:ハードカバー
While this handsome, exceptionally made collection of Mapplethorpe photography is certainly worth its cost, the editors have done a disservice to the artist by eliminating the framing effects Mapplethorpe created to off-set his own work, and thus sometimes robbing individual images of their ultimately intended impact. Worse still, these particular reproductions generally eliminate the sepia, blue-ish, or silvery tones of the original works and consequently misrepresent the artist's intent. Those who are established admires of Mapplethorpe will be impressed by this book; those who have not previously seen his work, however, will probably wonder what all the artistic fuss was about.

A more varied collection of photographs you will never see
1998/7/30
形式:ハードカバー
Ranging from graphic depictions of gay sex to portraits of little girls and flowers, Robert Mapplethorpe was all over the artistic map. This collection of his work is magnificent in its scope, frequently shocking, and ultimately very beautiful. The more extreme photographs have a tenderness to them, and the seemingly harmless photos generate an edginess that's hard to shake. Simultaneously devoted to a strict sense of formalism and composition and to forging a new iconography of homosexuality, it's easy to see why Mapplethorpe provoked so much controversy in his time. The many portraits of celebrities are perhaps the least interesting photos in the book, but add a certain classiness to the proceedings. A must-have for any fan of transgressive or technically accomplished photography.

A good collection showing a range of photo types.
2001/10/22
形式:ハードカバー
This book is LARGE! Very large. It is approximately 12" square, like a vinyl LP record, and comes in a tough card outer sleeve or box, thus keeping the actual book itself free from damage. I don't know exactly how much it weighs, but I suspect that it must be 3-4 Kg, so if you order it warn your postman! The images are all B&W.
It is also large in terms of content, there being some 600-odd images presented. There is an intoxicating range of photographs spreading over many years of Mapplethorpe's work and many genres. I have always found his flower portraits the most inspiring and they are here in plenty although regrettably none in colour. Obviously there also the formal portraits, the pictures of large male genitalia, pictures of Patti Smith (who is she, anyway?), a large number of self portraits, and many others.
This is NOT a book of sex images although there are few that are 'close to the mark', rather a collection of more of Mapplethorpe's more artistic ventures. Of all, I was much struck by the simple (polaroid) image of a young man on page 25, simple called "Untitled, 1974".
There is a superb essay by Arthur C. Danto explaining much of the controversy surrounding this photographer, along with a very full catalogue of Mapplethorpe's work, his books, exhibitions, and a bibliography of those who have written about or included his works.
Very good value for money if you are a fan.
