MAPPLETHORPE, ROBERT (1946-1989)
Unique collage containing colorful hand-drawn elements and pictures of sideshow performers. Collage with red, purple, pink, and yellow geometric and curvilinear lines, a pair of contiguous hearts (one a silver cut-out), and two photographs, comprising one of a man with an additional partial upper torso extending from his belly (with two small arms peaking out), and a better known photograph of the African-American Siamese twins, Millie and Christine. Overall sheet size 121/2x20 inches (31.7x50.7 cm.), with Mapplethorpe's siganture and date, in pencil, on recto; framed. 1968
This colorful Mapplethorpe construction demonstrates his early interest in unusual body types and outsider-type figures.
