Iconic work featuring two of Mapplethorpe's favorite models. The artist positioned Ken Moody and Robert Sherman, in profile, cropping both at the shoulders, in keeping with Classical busts. The contours of their bodies—separated by an elegant sliver of space—seamlessly undulate against each other, their skin lit with a soft and ethereal sheen. And yet, they are not meant to be mistaken for sculptures but rather narrow the space between the real and the sculpted, perpetually leaving perfection just out of reach.
This is a genuine vintage photogravure, printed in Japan in 1985. 26 x 26 cm archivally mounted on 100% acid-free 16" x 20" board and matted in a black metal frame.
