JEAN LUC DUPONT REPORTS: ROBERT MAPPLETHORPE CURATED BY SOFIA COPPOLA

Dear Filep and iDEALS,

following collaborations with Robert Wilson and Hedi Slimane, Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac invited Sofia Coppola to curate a new Robert Mapplethorpe exhibition with the idea to have a contemporary artist give her vision of an œuvre as significant as that of this photographer …

Coppola brings out with great sensibility & delicacy a lesser known aspect of Mapplethorpe’s work (mainly famous for his homo erotic and controversial images) in her selection of very serene photos full of tenderness & emotion extracted from the artist’s archive …

Profiles of Marisa Berenson (1983) and Paloma Picasso (1980) face each other …

An innocent picture of a naked little girl respond to the provocative image of a man in all his masculinity …
Still life photographs of flowers echoe with portraits of charismatic women …
Clichés of animals resonate between landscapes …
