Now recalled as the infamous lover and patron of legendary photographer Robert Mapplethorpe, Sam Wagstaff here takes center stage as a leading American intellectual and cultural visionary in his own right. Philip Gefter s epochal biography traces Wagstaff s evolution from society bachelor of the 1940s to his emergence as rebellious curator, initially at Hartford s Wadsworth Atheneum, where he mounted the first exhibition of Minimalist art, and then at the Detroit Institute of Arts, where he famously took on the trustees. In 1972, his fateful meeting with twenty-five-year-old, Queens-born Mapplethorpe would lead to his crowning legacy as world-class photography collector and cultural arbiter. Positioning Wagstaff s personal life against the rise of photography as a major art form, the formation of the gay rights movement, and New York just before and during the age of AIDS, Gefter writes of an intensely passionate, romantic odyssey and a celebrated union that would help transform contemporary art history."
