In the transition from the 70s to the 80s, Javier González Porto (Madrid, 1960) conjugated his vocation of street photographer with his access to the halls of the capital city of glamour and money. And even when he went to New York in '84, where he was assistant to Robert Mapplethorpe, Madrid still seemed to be «the center of the world» -due to the expectation aroused by tits vitality in the international press. This review of Porto's work is is divided into two blocks of 50 pictures each, with very different characteristics: the first one a passionate chronic of the Madrid of those years, free and complex after decades of dictatorship. The second, the «suite» Grace Jones, Andy, Keith Haring, Robert and Co. includes the preliminary and the making-off of a photo shoot that took place on July 28, 1984 in the study that Mapplethorpe was at 24 Bond Street over fourteen hours organized by Warhol himself to publish in his legendary magazine Interview.
