ROBERT MAPPLETHORPE (New York, 1946- Boston, 1989). "Lisa Lyon," 1982. Gelatin silver, printed in 1982, mounted. Exemplar 1/10. Provenance: Sean Kelly Gallery, New York, Phillips, "SPOTLIGHT: Photographs from a Private London Collection," 2023 and Private Collection, Spain. Bibliography: R. Mapplethorpe, Lady: Lisa Lyon, New York: St. Martin's, 1983, p. 94 (variant). Signed and dated by Michael Ward Stout, executor, in ink, copyright ownership, limitation of reproduction and signature stamp on reverse of recessed mount. Measurements: 38.7 x 38.4 cm: 66 x 64 cm (frame). Lisa Lyon achieved fame as the first female world bodybuilding champion. In 1980 she met Mapplethorpe and began a great friendship that led to a prolific artistic relationship. Lyon's physique allowed the photographer to portray subjects of his interest such as androgyny, the anatomy of classical statuary or even American culture. Since 1980, Mapplethorpe began a series of portraits in which Lyon was captured under his lens in multiple ways, one of them being photography. All this work was immortalized in the book Lady: Lisa Lyon (1983). American photographer, known for her sensitive yet forceful treatment of controversial subjects in the black and white medium of photography. Her work included a variety of subjects, including celebrity portraits, male and female nudes, self-portraits, and images of dead flowers. His most controversial work is of the BDSM subculture in the late 1960s and early 1970s in New York City. The homoeroticism of this work fueled a national debate over public funding of controversial artwork. Mapplethorpe worked primarily in a studio, and almost exclusively in black and white, with the exception of some of his later work and his final exhibition "New Colors." His body of work features a wide range of subject matter, but his primary focus and the bulk of his work is erotic imagery. He would refer to some of his own work as pornographic, aiming to arouse the viewer, but which could also be considered great art.His erotic art explored a wide range of sexual themes, depicting the BDSM subculture of New York in the 1970s, depictions of black male nudes and classic nudes of female bodybuilders. Mapplethorpe was a participant observer in much of his erotic photography, participating in the sexual acts he was photographing and engaging sexually with his models. Other subjects included flowers, especially orchids and lilies, children, statues, and celebrities and other artists, such as Andy Warhol, Louise Bourgeois, Deborah Harry, Kathy Acker, Richard Gere, Peter Gabriel, Grace Jones, Amanda Lear, Laurie Anderson, Iggy Pop, Philip Glass, David Hockney, Cindy Sherman, Joan Armatrading, and Patti Smith. Smith was a roommate of Mapplethorpe's and a frequent subject of his photography, including an iconic, somber photograph that appears on the cover of Smith's first album, Horses. His work often referenced religious or classical imagery, such as a 1986 portrait of Patti Smith that recalls Albrecht Dürer's 1500 self-portrait. Between 1980 and 1983, Mapplethorpe created more than 150 photographs of bodybuilder Lisa Lyon, culminating in the photo album Lady, Lisa Lyon, published by Viking Press and featuring text by Bruce Chatwin.

SEBASTIAO SALGADO (Aimorés, Brazil, 1944). From the series "Brazil", 1980-1983. Gelatin silver print. Photographer's credit in the margin. Signed, dated and annotated in pencil; artist's stamp (on verso). Provenance: Coolidge private collection, New York. Measurements: 34.5 x 52 cm (image); 51 x 61 cm (paper). Sebastião Salgado's photographs taken in Brazil between 1980 and 1983, especially those that focus on the feet of rural workers, are powerful testimonies to the human connection to the land, labor, and daily struggles. Through his lens, Salgado has succeeded in capturing the dignity and humanity of his subjects, creating images that resonate deeply with the viewer and continue to have a lasting impact. Sebastião Salgado is a Brazilian socio-documentary photographer and photojournalist. He has traveled to over 100 countries for his photographic projects. Most of these have appeared in numerous publications and books. Traveling exhibitions of his work have been shown around the world. Gallery owner Hal Gould considers Salgado the greatest photographer of the early 21st century. He has received numerous international awards, including the 1998 Prince of Asturias Award for the Arts3 and the W. Eugene Smith Award for Humanitarian Photography. Eugene Smith Award for Humanitarian Photography4 in 1982. He came to the field of photography relatively late, having previously trained and worked as an economist. In his career as a photographer he started working for the Paris-based Gamma agency and then joined Magnum Photos in 1979. In 1994 he left Magnum to form his own agency Amazonas Images in Paris to represent his work. Salgado belongs to the tradition of socio-documentary photography: his work highlights the documentation of the work of people in less developed countries or in poverty. In 2001 he was nominated special representative of Unicef for his work. He works on his own long-term projects, some of which have been published in books such as "Otras Américas" or "Éxodos". Among his best known photographs are those taken in the gold mines of Serra Pelada in Brazil. He usually photographs in black and white with Leica. In 1989 he received the Hasselblad Foundation International Award. In June 2007, after receiving the Prince of Asturias Award for the Arts, there was a large anthological exhibition of his work at the PHotoEspaña international festival in Madrid, where he won the Audience Award. While Sebastião Salgado's fame grew in the world of photography, being part of the Magnum agency, his wife Lélia Wanick worked as editor of his works to publish them in books and exhibitions. In the 1990s they both decided to return to Minas Gerais, Brazil, to receive from Sebastião's family a totally devastated, eroded and dry field. In 1998 they formed the Terra Institute and with Lélia as president of the project, they began to reforest the land. With more than 4 million seeds of native species raised by them, they completely reforested the Bulcao Farm with its original flora, giving life to an emblematic and hopeful project for the whole world.
