Judy Linn's photography is an invitation to the Chelsea Hotel room
that Patti Smith and Robert Mapplethorpe began sharing in 1971.
Featuring pictures of Smith, Mapplethorpe and Sam Sheppard, Linn's
black and white photography creates a voyeuristic view into the
personal lives of these famous names. "Robert Mapplethorpe in bed at
the Chelsea, #2" was a photo intended to help Mapplethorpe sell the
jewelry he was making and ended up being a stylistic inspiration when
he began his own career as a photographer. The playful photo shoot
allowed Linn and Smith to experiment with different identities; Smith
often liked to dress up as someone else, including Bob Dylan, and
expected Linn to do the same.
