The major retrospective of Robert Mapplethorpe, Robert Mapplethorpe. The Forms of the Classic is organised and promoted by Marsilio Arte and the Fondazione Giorgio Cini in collaboration with the Robert Mapplethorpe Foundation in New York.
Le Stanze della Fotografia in Venice announces their next major exhibition, devoted to a true, and still in many ways controversial, star of international photography: Robert Mapplethorpe (New York, 1946 – Boston, 1989). Curated by Le Stanze della Fotografia’s artistic director, Denis Curti, the show Robert Mapplethorpe. With over 200 works, some exhibited for the first time in Italy, the exhibition places special emphasis on the classical perfection of his compositions. Themes explored include the sensuality of the human body, the beauty of flowers and the visual dialogue between photography and ancient sculpture.
Open daily from 11am to 7pm (last admission at 6:30pm).
Closed on Wednesdays.
Admission subject to a fee. For bookings, ticket prices, and purchasing details, please visit lestanzedellafotografia.it
