Revue de presse :
"This thorough, entertaining biography portrays a blue blood who charmed East Coast society but also loved to scandalize...Gefter captures the brilliance of that world and its decline in the face of AIDS." -- The New Yorker "Gefter delivers the most persuasive account yet of how Wagstaff encouraged a small coterie of likeminded collectors-many of them gay, and several of them my friends-who raised vintage photographs from quaint curiosities to a 'serious' artistic medium. Mapplethorpe was the inadvertent catalyst of this historic shift." -- Martin Filler - The New York Review of Books "Comprehensive and scholarly...Gefter's smart, sexy and eloquent biography of this commanding arbiter of taste and culture serves as a definitive and memorable portrait of last century's intersection of gay life and the evolution of the hobby of photography into a way of producing collectible fine art." --Robert J. Feldman - Huffington Post
Présentation de l'éditeur :
A legendary curator, collector and patron of the arts, Sam Wagstaff was a "figure who stood at the intersection of gay life and the art world and brought glamour and daring to both" (Andrew Solomon). Now, in Philip Gefter's groundbreaking biography, he emerges as a cultural visionary. Gefter documents the influence of the man who-although known today primarily as the mentor and lover of Robert Mapplethorpe-"almost invented the idea of photography as art" (Edmund White). Wagstaff: Before and After Mapplethorpe braids together Wagstaff's personal transformation from closeted society bachelor to a rebellious curator with a broader portrait of the tumultuous social, cultural, and sexual upheavals of the 1960s, '70s, and '80s, creating a definitive portrait of a man and his era.

Description du livre Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Recalled as the lover and patron of Robert Mapplethorpe, Sam Wagstaff here takes centre stage as a leading American intellectual and cultural visionary. Philip Gefter traces Wagstaff's evolution from society "bachelor" of the 1940s to his emergence as rebellious curator. In 1972, his meeting with twenty-five-year-old Mapplethorpe, would lead to his legacy as world-class photography collector and cultural arbiter. Positioning Wagstaff's personal life against the rise of photography as a major art form and the simultaneous formation of the gay rights movement, Gefter's absorbing biography provides a searing portrait of New York just before and during the age of AIDS. The result is a definitive and memorable portrait of a man and an era. Here is the long-awaited story of Sam Wagstaff and his indelible influence on the world of late-twentieth-century art.
