About Edward Mapplethorpe
Edward Mapplethorpe began his solo career in 1990 and was quickly acclaimed for his luminous nudes, portraits, and still life photographs. Since that time, his work has progressively incorporated painterly qualities and experimental working practices, seen throughout his distinguished bodies of work that include: Undercurrents (1992-94), Stars and Stripes (1994), Transmographs (2000), Compositions (2002), HAIR Transfer (2004; commissioned by Shiseido la Beauté), TimeLines (2007), TimeZones (2008), and The Variations (2011). His work has been widely exhibited throughout Asia, Europe and North and Latin America. In addition to his creative practice, Mapplethorpe has built a successful reputation through his commissioned photographs of one-year-old children. The artist was promoted in House and Garden Magazine as one of the top commissioned photographers of child portraits. Mapplethorpe’s editorial work has been included in AMICA, Blackbook, Interview, Mirabella, New York Magazine, and Paper Magazine. He has photographed advertising campaigns for Robert Lee Morris, Paul Morelli and a special Jeff Koon’s auction for Sotheby’s. Mr. Mapplethorpe was the recipient of the 2004 Henry Buhl Foundation Prize.
