Fuckin good book
 

"Just Kids" by Patti Smith, autobiography of her period with Robert Mapplethorpe

Now you can continue with your porn peddling, you sexist chauvinists :321GFY

who what?

punk rocker patti smith? very cool, didnt know she was boinking mapplethorpe, was that before or after his piss christ phase;)

It was before he came out of the closet, and during that.. mmm... "discovery" period (1967/1974)

by the way, Piss Christ belonged to Andres Serrano :winkwink:

you are quite right, i lumped them together somehow i think cuz they were both embroiled in controversy at the time? for some reason my brain lumps mapplethorpe and piss christ together.


on edit: nice doggy.

ah yes, there were some issues at the same time with both artists, Serrano with the US Congress or some trial (don't remember exactly) and Mapplethorpe and the Corcoran Gallery fiasco, when he presented his infamous collection of black men with big cocks and the sado-maso collection :1orglaugh
