Biographical/Historical Note

A key figure in late 20th-century photography, Robert Mapplethorpe created work with a distinctive tension between opposites: sacred and profane, mainstream and underground, light and dark. From his early Polaroid portraits, to his fashion photography and later controversial work, Mapplethorpe's photographs are well-ordered and emotionally restrained, with chaotic and sensuous elements beneath the surface. Born in Queens, New York in 1946, Mapplethorpe studied graphic arts at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn before dropping out in 1969. He met the musician, poet, and artist Patti Smith in 1967 and they lived together as intimate and artistic partners until 1974. In 1972, Mapplethorpe met two influential curators. John McKendry gave him his first Polaroid camera, with which he made self-portraits and portraits of his friends and acquaintances in the art world. Samuel Wagstaff, Jr. later became the artist's lover and mentor. By the mid-1970s, Mapplethorpe had acquired a medium format camera and began photographing the world of New York's S & M clubs. Mapplethorpe refined his style in the early 1980s to create elegant figure studies, delicate floral still lifes, nudes, and celebrity portraits. His preference for simple compositions and a sophisticated use of lighting to articulate subtleties of form distinguished his mature work. His career was successfully championed by pioneering photography dealer Harry Lunn, who, along with Robert Miller and Robert Self, published portfolios of some of the artist's most challenging work. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Mapplethorpe's X Portfolio was at the center of an American culture war over whether public monies should be used to underwrite art that some deemed obscene or blasphemous. In 1989, at age 42, Mapplethorpe died from complications of AIDS. A year earlier, he established the Robert Mapplethorpe Foundation, which protects his work, promotes his legacy, and supports the causes he believed in, such as art programs and HIV/AIDS prevention and care.

Scope and Content of Collection

The papers and photographs of Robert Mapplethorpe document the career of the prolific artist from 1970 until his death in 1989 and his legacy in the following decades. Encompassing the full range of Mapplethorpe's production, including newly-discovered early drawings, assemblages, jewelry, little-known Polaroids, test shots, non-editioned prints, commercial commissions, and films, the collection demonstrates Mapplethorpe's range of technique and his commitment to a personal vision throughout his life. The archive also provides documentation of Mapplethorpe's working processes and personal and professional relationships through correspondence, studio records, interviews, clippings, ephemera, exhibition files, and financial records.
The Robert Mapplethorpe Foundation maintained and added to the archive from 1989 to 2011. These later additions include archival documents, ephemera and clippings collected by the Foundation, as well as records generated by the Foundation in the course of its work promoting Mapplethorpe's legacy with exhibitions and publications. Not included in the archive are approximately 1,900 of Mapplethorpe's limited-edition prints and other works of art housed at the J. Paul Getty Museum and jointly owned with the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
Series I contains Mapplethorpe's creative output and the artworks he acquired from others. Works by Mapplethorpe include photographs, Polaroids, three-dimensional objects, paintings, and cut-outs. Most photographs are gelatin silver prints and are predominantly self-portraits or portraits of Mapplethorpe's contemporaries. Works by other artists are mostly photographs of Mapplethorpe, and some photographs also feature Patti Smith, Sam Wagstaff, David Croland, Milton Moore, Jack Walls, Lisa Lyon, Francesco and Alba Clemente, Nick Rhodes, and Keith Haring. Other photographs document Mapplethorpe's artworks and jewelry designs. Also included are approximately 1000 non-editioned prints from the same photo sessions as Mapplethorpe's editioned prints; commissioned and commercial work; jewelry; films; and three portfolios featuring some of his earlier prints. Series II documents how Mapplethorpe worked as a photographer. Included are over 3,000 Polaroids that he took as test shots for his editioned prints, an index card inventory of 2,080 prints, model release forms, shooting books that were used to record editioned print information, and three spiral notebooks containing 418 Polaroid test shots.
Series III comprises photographs documenting Mapplethorpe's work. Included are gallery installation shots, Polaroids, and slides. Series IV includes Mapplethorpe's personal and professional correspondence with friends, models, clients, museums, galleries, and fans. Correspondents include Sam Wagstaff, Lisa Lyon, John McKendry, and Patti Smith. (Note: All letters from Patti Smith to Robert Mapplethorpe are sealed for Smith's lifetime.) Series V contains files related to exhibitions that took place during Mapplethorpe's lifetime. Documents include exhibition reports, press materials, ephemera, posters, and related videos. In Series VI are several documentaries and interviews with Mapplethorpe and others. Series VII contains fincancial and administrative records documenting Mapplethorpe's studio operations. Series VIII consists of items from Mapplethorpe's personal photograph collection of daguerreotypes, vintage pornography, ephemera, his zodiac chart, and other miscellaneous items.
Series IX comprises materials that the Robert Mapplethorpe Foundation created and collected after the artist's death in 1989. Files include correspondence with museums, galleries, and publishers; exhibition files and administrative records; and 27 boxes of collected press clippings related to the censorship controversy and trial in Cincinnati in the early 1990s.

Physical Description: 86.5 Linear Feet (61 boxes, 3 flatfile folders, 1 roll)

Scope and Content Note

This subseries represents a variety of artworks created by Robert Mapplethorpe from his student days through his later career. Earlier works include drawings, paintings, collages, altered photographs, altered found images, cut-outs and assemblages. Photographic works are mostly Polaroids, both color (dye diffusion transfer prints) and black-and-white (diffusion transfer prints), and gelatin silver prints. Most of the photographs are self-portraits or portraits of his close associates including Patti Smith, Sam Wagstaff, David Croland, Marianne Faithfull, Judy Linn, and Ruth Kligman. Many items are in their original frames, with the frame functioning as part of the piece as conceived of and executed by Mapplethorpe; others are in later exhibition frames. Other materials include a numbered, limited edition book, Season in Hell, by Arthur Rimbaud, illustrated with eight photogravure prints by Mapplethorpe and a separate, numbered portfolio of the same prints, invitations to Mapplethorpe's show Don't Touch Here at the Light Gallery in 1973, and offset prints of Smith's poem "Dolor Desvelado," which include photographs by Mapplethorpe.
All titles were devised by the catalogers unless they are italicized or otherwise indicated. Each item in this subseries has a unique RMF number that was assigned by the Robert Mapplethorpe Foundation. These RMF numbers have been frequently used to refer to such items and have been retained in the archive for accessibility. RMF numbers that begin with the letters "PD" have been published by Sylvia Wolf in Polaroids: Mapplethorpe, or in other catalogs. Also referenced are the The Museum System (TMS) numbers which are used to manage the Getty's art and archive collections. LACMA numbers are also included for each item that is jointly held by the J. Paul Getty Trust and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.

Series I.C. Non-editioned prints, 1974-1989, 2008 1974-1989

Non-editioned prints,: 1974-1989, 2008

Physical Description: 74.5 Linear Feet (44 boxes)

Scope and Content Note

Non-editioned photographs comprise commissioned and commercial works by Robert Mapplethorpe. Many of these are from the same photography shoots as his well-know editioned prints. Those that are from the same negatives as of editioned prints are identified as related photographs. Those that are from the same session, but from a different negative, are identified as variant photographs. In both cases, the Robert Mapplethorpe Foundation number for the editioned print (Map#) is noted if known. Also noted, if known, are Robert Mapplethorpe Foundation non-editioned numbers (NE) and negative book numbers (negative books containing Mapplethorpe's negatives and contact sheets are currently held at the Robert Mapplethorpe Foundation in New York). See shooting books in Series II for a list of the negative book numbers. All photographs are gelatin silver, unless indicated in the container list as color. Most photographs are vertical and are 20 x 16 inches, unless specified as 10 x 8; 14 x 11 or 24 x 20. Horizontal images are listed as 16 x 20; 8 x 10; 11 x 14 and 20 x 24. In general, the dates correspond to when the negatives were made. If print dates are different from the negative dates, these are noted. Titles were devised by cataloger unless otherwise noted.
Series I.C. has been digitized. Digital images are provided for study purposes only. Access to images of works by artists other than Mapplethorpe is available only to on-site readers and Getty staff.

Scope and Content Note

Series VII comprises financial and administrative files between 1964 and 1995. The files are both personal and professional and trace the evolution of The Robert Mapplethorpe Studio at 24 Bond Street from a place where Mapplethorpe lived and worked from 1972 to 1981, to a space he used exclusively as a studio in 1981, to the office of Mapplethorpe's fully incorporated business in 1984. Mapplethorpe continued to conduct much of his personal business through the studio even after he was no longer living at 24 Bond Street, and as a result, the personal and professional documents are intertwined. Included are financial and administrative records relating to general studio operations, the sale and loan of his work, the purchase of art for his personal collection, fellowship applications, and legal and incorporation documents.

Arrangement

This series is arranged alphabetically by administrative function. The files are in chronological order within the functional categories. Miscellaneous materials are filed at the end.
