The photo book Altars by Robert Mapplethorpe is a notable collection showcasing his exploration of themes such as formality, spirituality, and the human condition through his photography. While many of Mapplethorpe's works are celebrated for their stark black-and-white contrasts, Altars emphasizes his use of color and the geometric precision of his compositions, often infused with a sense of religiosity.

Published in 1995, this book combines color and duotone plates to reflect the depth of Mapplethorpe's artistic range. The inclusion of gatefold pages and high-quality reproductions enhances the visual experience, making it an essential piece for fans of his art and collectors alike.
