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.

ROBERT FRANK (Zurich 1924 - Nova Scotia 2019) "Rainy day", c. 1955. Gelatin silver on Agfa paper. Signed in ink in lower left corner. Provenance: Christie's Paris, Photographies 10/11/2020, Lot 107. Measurements: 41 x 30 cm; 66,5 x 58 cm (frame). Robert Frank was a Swiss photographer and documentary filmmaker, who also became an American citizen. His most notable work is the 1958 book The Americans, which earned Frank comparisons to De Tocqueville because his photography provided a fresh and nuanced view of American society from the outside. Critic Sean O'Hagan, wrote in The Guardian in 2014, that The Americans "changed the nature of photography, what it could say and how it could say it. It remains perhaps the most influential photography book of the 20th century." Frank later explored other fields such as film and video and experimented with photo manipulation and photomontage. Robert Frank was born in Zurich, Switzerland, into a Jewish family. Frank and his family remained safe in Switzerland during World War II. He trained with several photographers and graphic designers before creating his first handmade photography book, 40 Photos, in 1946. Frank emigrated to the United States in 1947 and got a job in New York City as a fashion photographer for Harper's Bazaar. In 1949, Camera magazine's new editor, Walter Laubli (1902-1991), published a substantial portfolio of Jakob Tuggener's photographs taken at high-class shows and in factories, along with the work of the 25-year-old Frank, who had just returned to his native Switzerland after two years abroad. He soon left for South America and Europe and created another book of handmade photographs he took in Peru. He returned to the United States in 1950 where he met Edward Steichen, and participated in the group show 51 American Photographers at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA). Although initially optimistic about American society and culture, Frank's perspective quickly changed when confronted with the fast pace of American life, which he saw as an overemphasis on money. It was then that his images began to show America as an often desolate and lonely place. Frank's own dissatisfaction with the control that editors exerted over his work also undoubtedly influenced his experience. He continued to travel, moving his family briefly to Paris. In 1953, he returned to New York and continued to work as a freelance photojournalist for magazines such as McCall's, Vogue and Fortune. By associating with other contemporary photographers such as Saul Leiter and Diane Arbus, he helped form what Jane Livingston has called the New York School of photographers during the 1940s and 1950s. In 1955, Frank achieved further recognition with Edward Steichen's inclusion of seven of his photographs in the Museum of Modern Art exhibition. In 1955 Frank was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship from the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation to travel the United States and photograph society. The cities he visited included Detroit and Dearborn, Michigan; Savannah, Georgia; Miami Beach and St. Petersburg, Florida; New Orleans, Louisiana; Houston, Texas; Los Angeles, California; Reno, Nevada; Salt Lake City, Utah; Butte, Montana; and Chicago, Illinois. He took his family with him for part of his series of road trips over the next two years, during which time he took 28,000 photos of which only 83 were selected by him for publication in The Americans. He had his first solo show at the Art Institute of Chicago, and a year later exhibited a second time at MoMA. In 1972 the Kunsthaus Zürich held a major retrospective of his work.
