What They Fund
The Robert Mapplethorpe Foundation, established by Robert Mapplethorpe in 1988, aims to protect his work, advance his creative vision, and promote the causes important to him. Its mandates are to elevate photography to the same level of recognition and respect as painting and sculpture and to support HIV/AIDS medical research. Initially, the foundation focused on HIV/AIDS research, creating significant medical facilities and programs. Continuing Mapplethorpe's legacy, it encourages museum exhibitions internationally, publishes books, and places Mapplethorpe's art in crucial collections.
