Leather meets leather—architect and designer Peter Marino previewed “Robert Mapplethorpe: The Perfect Medium.” An avid collector of Mapplethorpe’s work over the last 30 years, Marino was especially enthralled by the photographer’s early work in the exhibition. Marino is shown here posing with “Leather Crotch” (1980), the first Mapplethorpe work he ever purchased. @petermarinoarchitect #lacma #RobertMapplethorpe #MapplethorpeLA #leather
