Abstract
"Mapplethorpe: Look at the Pictures takes an unflinching, unprecedented look at Robert Mapplethorpe’s most provocative work. It is the first feature-length documentary about the artist since his death, and the most comprehensive film on Mapplethorpe ever.
As The J. Paul Getty Museum and The Los Angeles County Museum of Art prepare landmark Mapplethorpe retrospectives (both opening in March 2016), the film goes inside the preparation for the exhibitions as a jumping-off point to tell the complete story of his life and work for the first time, and explore the interplay between his personal and professional lives. Mapplethorpe: Look at the Pictures reveals a controversial artist who turned contemporary photography into a fine art."
