This beautiful print by Edward Mapplethorpe titled “Melody” is signed, dated, and editioned 1/5. Noted as the first in a small edition of five prints exemplifying the bold work of Edward and his brother's influence upon him.
This particular piece has become more significant given the storied history of the Mapplethorpe brothers due to the 2018 film “Mapplethorpe”.
Born and raised in New York, Edward Mapplethorpe began his artistic career under the pseudonym “Edward Maxey”, and quickly became acclaimed for his luminous nudes, portraits, and still lives that were evocative of his renowned older brother, Robert Mapplethorpe (1946–1989). However, it was Edward’s innovative work beyond the typical studio environment (Undercurrents, 1992-94) that first distinguished him as a unique talent in bridging the gap between photography and abstract painting.
