THE CORAL SEA - PATTI SMITH KARTONIERT (TB)

Through the linked pieces of The Coral Sea  Patti Smith honors her comrade-in-arms Robert
Mapplethorpe (1946-1989). She tells the story of a man on an ocean journey to see the Southern
Cross  who is reflecting on his life and fighting the illness that is consuming him. Metaphoric
and dreamy  this tale of transformation arises from Smith's knowledge of Mapplethorpe from a
young man to a mature artist  his close relationship with patron and friend  Sam Wagstaff  his
years surviving AIDS  and his ascent into death. The Coral Sea is Smith's lyrically compelling
recasting of her grief to recapture Mapplethorpe's life in the past and his future in his art.
Rich in evocative details  it shows the man beneath the persona. This edition features a new
introduction and new material by Smith.
