Flowers – Robert Mapplethorpe (Hardcover)

This is the hardcover edition of Flowers by Robert Mapplethorpe, published by Bulfinch Press.

Unlike many publications that focus on Mapplethorpe's portraits or figure studies, this volume is devoted entirely to flowers, one of the most important subjects throughout his career.

The book presents a collection of beautifully reproduced photographs featuring orchids, tulips, lilies, irises, and other botanical subjects. Through dramatic lighting, meticulous composition, and remarkable attention to form, Mapplethorpe transformed flowers into powerful sculptural images.

The photographs highlight the elegance, sensuality, and symmetry found in nature, demonstrating the same artistic vision that made Mapplethorpe one of the most influential photographers of the twentieth century.

This publication is highly regarded among photography collectors, art book enthusiasts, and admirers of Mapplethorpe's floral works.
