Wikipedia: "Robert Mapplethorpe, famed for his photography of the male nude, had his first exposure to Hellenistic art and themes, which he would later incorporate into his own photography, from the Grecian Guild Pictorial. Mapplethorpe also created a photo-transfer collage using the cover of a 1964 issue of the Pictorial." Every lot is sold "as is," "where is," and "without warranty," whether express or implied. Art has not been examined outside of the frame unless otherwise stated.
