- Lot Description
Robert Mapplethorpe (American, 1946-1989)
Black Jack, 1982, printed 1984. Titled, numbered, and signed "...57/75..." in black ink on the mount. Gelatin silver print, image size 12 1/2 x 12 1/2 in. (31.8 x 31.8 cm), framed.
Condition: Good.
N.B. Jack Walls was Mapplethorpe's lover, mentee, and one of his most famous models.
"He was 10 years older than me when we moved in together. I was 25 and he was 35 when we started living together. That's a big gap. He had already been through the Chelsea Hotel days with Patti Smith. He had already done some things that got the art world's attention. I would say, now, it was a mentorship, but then, I just thought that I had a very cool boyfriend. I really did. It's not often you could say that your boyfriend is also your favorite artist and mean it. I knew art couples, where their other half wasn't their favorite artist. But I could say that and actually mean it. My favorite artist was my boyfriend, and he would've been my favorite artist even if he wasn't my boyfriend. I lived with this man, and that's part of my legacy. No one can change that, although people have tried." (Sarah Nechamkin, "Artist Jack Walls on the Dark Magic of Robert Mapplethorpe," Interview magazine, January 29, 2019, https://www.interviewmagazine.com/art/jack-walls-on-life-with-robert-mapplethorpe-guggenheim-implicit-tensions).
