About This Item

(MAPPLETHORPE, ROBERT) (LYON, LISA). Mapplethorpe, Robert, Lisa Lyon & Bruce Chatwin. Foreword by Sam Wagstaff . LADY LISA LYON BY ROBERT MAPPLETHORPE - SIGNED PRESENTATION COPY FROM LISA LYON. Signed Presentation Copy from Lisa Lyon. New York: A Studio Book - The Viking Press, 1983. First Hardbound Edition. 4to. Boards in Pictorial Jacket. Photography Monograph. Fine/Fine. 128pp, profusely illustrated in b&w. Designed by Michael Shroyer. "Lady (Lisa Lyon)" is brassy and playful, strong and seductive, discreet and thoroughly uninhibited. Lady is a host of contradictions, and Robert Mapplethorpe's provocative portrait of Lisa Lyon, dynamic personality and first Women's Bodybuilding Champion, entices you to re-examine your ideas and ideals of "female". In these haunting photographs - made over a period of two years - Lyon embodies her concept of Woman of the Eighties, neither masculine nor feminine, but feline. Writer Bruce Chatwin introduces Lyon and Mapplethorpe in a style characteristically witty and adroit, and photography connoisseur Sam Wagstaff adds his own valuable observations of the duo and their joint accomplishment." A brand new, most handsome example of the hardbound first edition of this iconic work additionally INSCRIBED "for tom & dick - love / Lisa Lyon / NY '83" in the year of publication in black ink on the half title page. 0-670-43012-9 Inventory Number: 026144
