| Abstract | In February 2011 the Getty and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) announced a joint acquisition of archival materials and works by, or associated with, Robert Mapplethorpe.

It was not until 1971 that he found his interest in photography, after he had borrowed a Polaroid camera to advance his works with collages, which he had previously made from magazine clippings. |
