Arriving at Palazzo Reale with a wide and unprecedented selection of the most iconic, powerful, and unconventional works, the exhibition Robert Mapplethorpe. The Forms of Desire will offer visitors in Milan, even during the Olympic and Paralympic period, a great opportunity to engage with the work of the American photographer, one of the most original, refined, and controversial figures of the 20th century.
