Robert Mapplethorpe

[Mike Farley]

I appreciate this is short notice, but I have only found out myself.

As part of its Gay Britannia season, BBC2 has a profile of Robert Mapplethorpe at 10:45 this evening (Saturday, 29 July). It is being shown in its Imagine series of programmes fronted by Alan Yentob. Mapplethorpe produced some very distinctive photography, although some of his subjects might not be to every taste. That said, his work is very collectible and prices are the £000s. If you want to see the programme, but miss it, it will be available on iPlayer after broadcast.
