Robert Mapplethorpe and Patti Smith, New York City, 1969

$3015 ~~$4500~~ In stock

When I met Robert & Patti I thought they looked cool. So I asked them to do a session with me. The authenticity and emotional depth of their love was exactly what I was looking for in my images. Forty years later, these shots – which were simply a way for me to build my New York portfolio – have been in great demand for book covers and television & magazine stories around the world. -- Norman Seeff

Ava J. ★★★★★ Aug 14, 2026

The emotional pull of this print is unreal—you can feel the raw intimacy between them just from the way their eyes lock. The paper quality holds the contrast beautifully, making every shadow and highlight pop like the original session.

Lucy ★★★★★ Aug 13, 2026

The black-and-white reproduction captures the raw intimacy between them so well that it feels like a moment frozen mid-breath, not just a posed picture. I've stared at it for a full minute each day since it hung up and still find something new in their expressions.

Harper Y. ★★★★★ Aug 12, 2026

The print arrived crisp and perfectly framed, and every time I walk past it in the hallway, that exact moment between them feels alive. The emotional intensity Norman captured is something you can feel from across the room, not just see up close.
