Mapplethorpe

But this spring in Paris, the Mapplethorpe hoopla is taking an interesting turn.

Mapplethorpe is infamous for his raw depictions of sexuality, but Rodin was no prude.

In a veritable Mapplethorpe renaissance, two exhibitions have launched in tandem dedicated to his work.

This will serve as the basis for a more ambitious exhibition—a kind of Mapplethorpe 2.0—which is currently set for 2016.
