This First Edition-First Printing of the book about Patti Smith's life with Robert Mapplethorpe is beautifully signed by the legendary performer in black pen on the title page. The book was signed in person at the Skylight Books here in Los Angeles on Jan 19, 2010. A photo of the signing will be included with the purchase. Also included. is a combine painting of a womans face done on a cloth head form by Robert Maplethorpe. This piece is from Robert Mapplethorpe's estate and is visible in the documentary "Chelsea Hotel 1970" at 8 minutes 47 seconds (available on You Tube) and in the HBO Documentary "Mapplethorpe: Look At The Pictures" at 17 minutes and 47 seconds. In the late 1960's Robert Mapplethorpe studied the Rauschenberg technique of combine painting at the Pratt Institute in New York. As he had this in his apartment with his iconic hat on it in 1970 that fits with it having been a project of his for school. I obtained the piece from Art Director / Production Designer William Doig. In October 1989 he was working as the manager in an antique collectable shop in the Soho district in Manhattan. An associate of Dimitri Levas brought a number of items into the store that were not going to be part of the Mapplethorpe Auction at Christies. This item was one of the pieces brought in for them to sell. William Doig purchased this for himself. A letter from William Doig will be included with the purchase.
