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.

CANDIDA HÖFER (Germany, 1944). "Deutsche Oper am Rhein Düsseldorf," 2012. Photograph, c-print, copy 97/100. Signed and numbered on the back. Measurements: 30 x 45.5 cm; 48 x 63 cm (frame). "Deutsch Oper am Rhein Düsseldorf" is part of a project called "In Portugal", which the artist realized between 2005 and 2006. The series consists of a selection of photographs taken in public places throughout the country. Characteristic of Candida Höfer, the artist has photographed empty interiors of libraries, museums, palaces and theaters, focusing on cultural spaces free of human presence. The self-imposed thematic constraints evident in her project are both cultural and formal in nature. The baroque, modern and contemporary interiors that Höfer captures through her lens offer a "formal portrait of the social itself," as it has been defined in Europe since the Enlightenment. Candida Höfer began her career in 1968 working as a portrait photographer for various newspapers and, from 1970, as an assistant to Werner Bokelberg. Later, between 1973 and 1982, she attended the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf, first studying film with Ole John, and later photography with Bernd Becher. Together with Thomas Ruff, Höfe was Becher's first student to use color photography, showing her work in slide form. She began making her famous interiors of public buildings in 1979, still during her student period. Eventually fame would come to him thanks to his series of photographs focusing on the lives of immigrant workers in Germany. Höfer's work is part of the tradition of German photographers directly inherited from the conceptual aesthetics and the teachings of Bernd and Hilla Becher from the Kunstakademie in Düsseldorf, who readapted the original project of the New Objectivity to adopt a unique way of facing the world. Following the working method initiated by their teachers, their photographs show an almost ethnographic interest in the multiplicity of forms of representation of contemporary culture, relating in a very particular way to the scenarios where society moves and knowledge develops. Höfer's are interiors of buildings, preferably for public use such as museums, churches, theaters or opera houses, archives and libraries, which are photographed when they have ceased all activity and are empty. Specializing in large formats, her photographs are taken from a classic frontal angle, or they seek a sharp diagonal that organizes the composition. The artist tends to photograph her scenes from a high viewpoint, so that the wall in the background is centered in relation to the final image. She held her first solo exhibition in 1975 at the Konrad Fischer Gallery in Düsseldorf. Since then, Höfer's work has been exhibited in leading museums around the world, such as the Kunsthalle in Basel, Hamburg and Bern, the Louvre in Paris, the Portikus in Frankfurt am Main, the MoMA in New York, the Power Plant in Toronto, the Kunsthaus in Bregenz, the Ludwig Museum in Cologne or, in our country, at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Vigo. Likewise, in 2002 he participated in Documenta 11, and in 2003 he represented Germany at the Venice Biennale, together with Martin Kippenberger. On the other hand, between 1997 and 2000 she combined her artistic practice with teaching, which she did at the Hochschule für Gestaltung in Karlsruhe. She is currently represented at the Guggenheim Museum in New York, the Hamburger Banhof in Berlin, the Kunsthalle in Nuremberg, the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Trento, the Museum of Contemporary Photography at Columbia College in Chicago, the Fundación Telefónica in Madrid and the Philadelphia Museum of Art, among other public and private collections.
