ROBERT MAPPLETHORPE
Curated By Sofia Coppola
25 November, 2011 - 7 January, 2012

Following collaborations with Robert Wilson and Hedi Slimane, Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac has invited Sofia Coppola to curate a new Robert Mapplethorpe exhibition.

This exhibition uses the same approach as the show "Robert Mapplethorpe: Eye to Eye", which was curated by American artist Cindy Sherman in New York in 2003, and "Robert Mapplethorpe Curated by David Hockney", which was presented in London in 2005. The idea is to have a contemporary artist bring his or her take on an œuvre as significant as that of Robert Mapplethorpe's.
