  • Maripol, the legendary French photographer who captured downtown New York's cultural explosion in the 1980s, is selling treasures from her personal archive through Joopiter Marketplace's new curated sale titled "Downtown Archive: '80s – '90s New York".
  • Her iconic Polaroid SX-70 camera documented major figures of the era including Jean-Michel Basquiat, Grace Jones, Madonna, Andy Warhol, and Debbie Harry as she moved between her role as art director for Fiorucci by day and the club scene by night.
  • Maripol styled Madonna in the early 1980s and co-produced the film Downtown 81 with boyfriend Edo Bertoglio, featuring Basquiat as a struggling artist in a documentary-style portrait of Lower Manhattan's creative underground.
  • The sale includes rare items like a Stephen Sprouse coat with textiles by Andy Warhol, representing artifacts that document two transformative decades in New York City's cultural history.
  • Arriving from France in 1976 with her trusty Polaroid camera, Maripol became known as the "Polaroid Queen" who intimately captured the gritty, transformative era when hip-hop, graffiti, and new wave culture collided in downtown NYC.
