Open to the public from today, and running in parallel to the Bill Viola show at the Grand Palais, is this major retrospective dedicated to Robert Mapplethorpe. Produced in collaboration with the Mapplethorpe Foundation, it is one of the largest retrospectives for this artist ever held in a museum.
