Gefter delivers the most persuasive account yet of how Wagstaff encouraged a small coterie of likeminded collectors... who raised vintage photographs from quaint curiosities to a 'serious' artistic medium. Mapplethorpe was the inadvertent catalyst of this historic shift., 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., An admiring and absorbing biography... As cultural history, Wagstaff's life story parallels the ascent of the gay rights movement in New York. Gefter tracks the social changes that allowed Wagstaff to escape the charades and debasements of living as a closeted homosexual in the intolerant past., 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., 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., 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., Sam Wagstaff was a leonine figure who stood at the intersection of gay life and the art world and brought glamor and daring to both. Philip Gefter's eloquent biography captures the challenges and the thrills of this dramatic life. It is a smart, sexy biography of a brilliant, charismatic man; it is also a portrait of a time when our ideas of art and our attitudes toward sexuality were in extraordinary flux., I just couldn't stop reading this book!...Sam Wagstaff was the ultimate collector--of talent, of beauty, of silver, of boys. He had everything: looks, taste, money. He almost invented the idea of photography as art, valuable art worth collecting. This is a book not only about the New York art scene of the 70s but also about an entire generation.

This item didn’t come in exactly as pictured, but the seller responded immediately and was very gracious in offering me a partial refund even bough I wasn’t expecting one for what I paid for the item. I have bought from this seller before, and they are reputable and stand behind the products they sell. My other transactions with them have been perfect. Great communication. Packaging and price were good. Fairly fast shipping, too. Thanks.
