Exhibition
Robert Mapplethorpe - Towner
A new exhibition of Robert Mapplethorpe at Ther new Towner Gallery in Eastbourn shows 60 of Mapplethorpe's most defining works and they look great in the new Towner Gallery. Mapplethorpe is considered on of the most significant photographers of the 20th century. The exhibition runs from now until 21st November 2010.Mapplethorpe found the style that could match his intensely romantic nature, and deployed it with great courage. Like his father-figure Warhol, he vaunted an obsession with death. But among the leathers and the skulls, what makes him a great, enduring artist is his appetite for life. A passion for existence shines out of those crystal eyes.
