Ken Moody Portfolio
Robert Mapplethorpe's "Ken Moody Portfolio" from 1985 comprises five photogravures that combine printmaking techniques with watercolor, screenprint, and flocking to create richly textured works on paper. Created at Graphicstudio in Tampa, Florida, the portfolio demonstrates Mapplethorpe's mastery of traditional intaglio processes applied to contemporary portraiture. The mixed media approach elevates the photogravure beyond traditional photomechanical reproduction, infusing each print with painterly and tactile qualities characteristic of the artist's late career experimentation.
