Robert Mapplethorpe "The Perfect Moment" Exhibition Poster
Item Details
An offset lithograph exhibition poster promoting the infamous display of provocative American photographer Robert Mapplethorpe’s (1946-1989) controversial show The Perfect Moment at The Contemporary Arts Center in Cincinnati, Ohio from April 7- May 26, 1990. More than 80,000 people saw the show, causing a series of protests and a court case that brought international attention surrounding the work’s arguably controversial sexual subject matter. The poster features a large offset lithograph reproduction of a 1984 photo by the artist titled Calla Lily. The poster is presented behind glass in a thin black metal frame with a hanging wire. A retrospect of the artist’s work, particularly focusing on the display and controversy surrounding this 1990 exhibition, is currently on display at The Contemporary Arts Center.
