Wikipedia description:
Samuel Jones Wagstaff Jr. (November 4, 1921 – January 14, 1987) was an American art curator and collector. He was the artistic mentor and benefactor of photographer Robert Mapplethorpe and poet-punk rocker Patti Smith. Wagstaff is known in part for his support of minimalism, pop art, conceptual art, and earthworks, but his aesthetic acceptance and support of photography presaged the acceptance of the medium as a fine art.
