理想主義盛行的1970及80年代，紐約藝壇漸次復興。博物館策展人 Sam Wagstaff 遇上生命中最重要的男人 Robert Mapplethorpe。在 Sam 的支持和鼓勵下，Robert 拿起相機，拍攝出一幅幅震撼人心的作品，將反映當代價值的SM和毒品世界盡現鏡頭之下，令他的藝術生涯再創高峰。由相戀到分開，兩人的關係連綿25載，成為不可多得的精神伴侶。電影更描劃二人和樂壇傳奇 Patti Smith 的點點滴滴，彌足珍貴。
Sam Wagstaff was one of the most influential figures in modern and contemporary art. Largely responsible for establishing the market for photography, he created an unmatched collection of 19th and 20th century still masterworks, acquired by the Getty in 1984. Wagstaff also famously made the career of his protégé and lover - bad boy photographer Robert Mapplethorpe. Twenty-five years his junior, Mapplethorpe introduced the stunningly handsome, patrician art curator and collector to the uninhibited gay underground of 1970s New York City, and helped launch Wagstaff as an early catalyst for the collision of fine art, fashion and club life until his death from AIDS in 1987. Replete with stunning photographs and tender, insightful interviews (including, most poignantly, rock icon Patti Smith), BLACK WHITE + GRAY is a stylish, penetrating portrait of complex gay man whose aesthetic impact continues to be felt today.
