Robert Mapplethorpe

Mapplethorpe (1946 – 1989) first became famous, not to say notorious, in the 1970s
and 1980s with his photographs of the male and female nude.

Although some works became more infamous than others, they each explored beauty and form in a classical, traditional way – from his statuesque nudes to formal portraits of artists and celebrities; depictions of New York’s S & M underground to delicate flower photographs.

Don’t miss this first ever Mapplethorpe retrospective in Scotland.
This show contains works of an explicit nature.
