Born in 1946 in Long Island, New York, Mapplethorpe graduated from the Pratt Institute with a Bachelor of Fine Arts. In the early 1980s, he revolutionized photography with new techniques and formats. Mapplethorpe: The Complete Flowers was his first book published by teNeues and is essential for anyone interested in contemporary photography, featuring an essay by philosopher and art critic Arthur C.
