Michelangelo and Mapplethorpe a Florence, Italy



Cari Amici (Dear Friends),

Two big “M”s – Michelangelo and Mapplethorpe (Robert, that is) together at last in Florence, Italy. I cannot wait for May (oh – that is another M) 25th!
La "Perfezione nella Forma" is an exhibit of 91 of the famous (late) photographers work on exhibit with the (also late) sculptor’s oeuvre at the Galleria dell'Accademia here in Florence, Italy. Artist (and friend of Robert Mapplethorpe) Patti Smith helped select the Mapplethorpe images to be shown.

The Galleria is where Michelangelo’s original stone carving “David” is on permanent display, as well as his unfinished slaves (fantastic, davvero!).

If you have any plans on visiting the Renaissance City, you might want to do so this summer.
The exhibit starts 25 May 2009 and runs through 27 September 2009.

Two great artists together and more to see at the Accademia!
Cannot wait!
