Robert Mapplethorpe
Nacido en Floral Park, New York, en 1946. El trabajo del fotógrafo Robert Mapplethorpe encarna la subcultura de la ciudad de Nueva York a fines de la década de 1960 y principios de la de 1970. Documentó la escena BDSM a través de un ojo artístico altamente capacitado, vinculando la estética de su tema con las tradiciones clásicas de producción artística. Se acercó a su tema a través de la misma lente que lo haría con "claveles en un cuenco". Su trabajo y su inclusión en espacios públicos y exposiciones generaron un debate nacional en la década de 1980 sobre la financiación gubernamental de obras consideradas "impactantes" por los espectadores conservadores y la derecha religiosa.
