Scissor Sisters to Present an Exhibition of Robert Mapplethorpe
Thursday 14th October 2010. Perhaps slightly less known is the fact that the artwork for the album cover is actually a photograph taken by artist and photographer Robert Mapplethorpe.
The work, entitled "Peter Reed", from 1980, was chosen by lead singer of the band, Jake Shears, and had caused rumours to circulate that it was actually a self-portrait of the band member. As further singles are released from the Night Work album it is said that they too will contain covers depicting the work of Mapplethorpe, showing some dedication from the band who are now set to also curate a show of Mapplethorpe's work.
