The exhibition “Robert Adams: The Place We Live“ reflects Adams’ longstanding interest in tragic relationship between man and nature and his quest to find redeeming light and beauty in a deteriorating landscape. With more than two hundred and fifty pictures chosen from twenty–one series, this retrospective presents for the first time the diverse aspects of his epic body of work and each of the photographer’s major projects. Taken as a whole, the photographs in this exhibition highlight the photographer’s commitment to present the wealth of beauty in our natural surroundings and to underscore our obligation as citizens to protect our environment, not only in the American West, but in the broader world.

Born in Queens, in 1963, Mapplethorpe enrolled at Pratt Institute, where he studied drawing, painting, and sculpture. He also experimented with various materials in mixed-media collages, including images cut from books and magazines. In 1970, he acquired a Polaroid camera and began producing his own photographs to incorporate into the collages. That same year he and Patti Smith moved into the iconic Chelsea Hotel. He produced highly stylised black and white portraits, nudes and still lifes. His provocative and powerful work has established him as one of the most important artists of the twentieth century. The exhibition presents the classic dimension of the artist’s work and his search for aesthetic perfection, through over 200 images that span his career from the early 1970s to his untimely death in 1989. Grand Palais Every day except Tuesdays from 10am to 8pm Late opening Wednesdays 10pm www.grandpalais.fr MAPPLETHORPE-RODIN April 8th to September 21st Musée Rodin The Musée Rodin will also be "hosting" an exhibition on Robert Mapplethorpe. This exhibition presents 50 sculptures by Rodin and a collection of 102 photographs by Mapplethorpe, in a bold dialogue revealing the enduring nature of these great artists’ favorite themes and subjects. The curators have chosen seven themes, common to the work of both, revealing connections in form, theme and aesthetic. Movement and Tension, Black and White/Light and Shadow, Eroticism and Damnation are just some of the major issues running through the works of the two artists. The Musée Rodin is still one of our favorite museums in Paris and we just love the fact that they prepared such an interesting exhibition!
