A monochrome photography collection by Robert Mapplethorpe, featuring compelling portraits of legendary figures such as Patti Smith and Andy Warhol.

This striking photobook documents a moment when New York’s artistic underground was redefining visual culture. The images showcase Mapplethorpe’s hallmark clarity, composition, and psychological intimacy, capturing icons central to fashion, music, and avant garde art.

Though exact publication details remain elusive, the volume is clearly a mid‑to‑late‑20th century Japanese edition of Mapplethorpe’s work, likely issued posthumously given its broad selection of his most influential series. It contains prints that span his celebrated black‑and‑white oeuvre portraits, nudes, and still lifes that helped cement his legacy. Among these are intimate depictions of Patti Smith and Andy Warhol, emblematic of his deep engagement with cultural provocateurs.

More than a photo book, this edition serves as a visual time capsule a rare archival document that resonates with collectors and Mapplethorpe enthusiasts. The worn patina of the pages only deepens its authenticity and connection to an era of artistic rebellion.

Intermission exists in the space between documentation and devotion an ongoing archive of cultural fragments that refuse to vanish. Each title within our portfolio is selected not for trend, but for tension: between what was meant to disappear and what insists on remaining.

We work with objects that speak quietly but persistently publications, recordings, and editions that define the undercurrents of art, sound, and design. Together they form a living record of marginal brilliance, a collection that privileges significance over scale.

Every Intermission title is handled as an artifact. We believe that preservation is an act of reverence one that begins the moment you open a cover or unspool a tape.

To experience a piece, do so slowly. Allow the air to touch the paper, let light fall softly over each page. Avoid excess pressure; handle edges rather than surfaces. Each mark, fold, or patina is part of its passage through time evidence of care rather than decay.

We encourage collectors to engage not only with the content, but with the gesture of preservation itself: a quiet commitment to memory.
