ROBERT MAPPLETHORPE
OPENS OCT 21Photographer Robert Mapplethorpe’s work has always provoked strong reactions. TheX, Y, and Z portfolios drew charges of obscenity in museums in the late 1980s and early 1990s, sparking an enduring debate over censorship, art, and the freedom of expression. These portfolios are now a part of LACMA’s permanent collection as a part of a joint acquisition with the Getty Museum of Mapplethorpe’s art and archives.
