Some Women Robert Mapplethorpe, Joan didon , published by Bulfinch Press / Little Brown, 1989
Hardcover, First Edition.
Some Women” is Robert Mapplethorpe’s breathtakingly elegant homage to female beauty. One of the most controversial and, ultimately, canonized photographers of our time, Mapplethorpe died in March 1989, at the peak of his critical acclaim. This collection was among the last projects that he undertook and includes a retrospective of his portraits of women, the majority of which have never been published in book form.
“Some Women” explores female beauty in many incarnations, beauty both idealized and externalized. It brings together eighty-six of Mapplethorpe’s finest images – a balance of his luminous nudes, fashion shots, and portraits. The women included come from every age group and rnge from the unfamiliar to the notable. Isabella Rossellini, Grace Jones, Sigourney Weaver, Yoko Ono, Brooke Shields, Cyndi Lauper, Melanie Griffith, Susan Sarandon, and Mapplethorpe’s close friend Patti Smith are among the numerous celebrities who participated. Equally arresting are the lesser known: fellow artists, friends, favorite models, and children. “Some Women” reveals the full extent of Mapplethorpe’s mastery of black-and-white photography and his gift as a portraitist.
