History / Description
Lady Lisa Lyon by Robert Mapplethorpe, published by Schirmer/Mosel, Munich, in 1983.
This is the German-language edition of Mapplethorpe's celebrated photographic study of Lisa Lyon, translated from the American edition by Reinhard Kaiser.
The book brings together Mapplethorpe's striking portraits of Lisa Lyon, a pioneering figure in women's bodybuilding. Through carefully composed studio portraits, fashion-inspired imagery and studies of the human form, Mapplethorpe explores the contrast between physical strength and femininity with his distinctive visual style.
The result is a powerful and highly recognizable body of photographic work from the early 1980s, presented in an elegant large-format publication.

This 1983 German-language edition was published by the renowned Munich art-book publisher Schirmer/Mosel.
