Patti Smith: Land 450

 

Until June 22nd 2008

Photographs, paintings and drawings by Patti Smith, a veteran rock performer, have gone on display at the Fondation Cartier, one of Paris’s most prestigious contemporary art galleries. Small black-and-white Polaroid pictures dominate the display, which hangs in a basement gallery furnished with armchairs and carpets to resemble a living room. Gravestones are a favourite subject, as is Ms Smith's connection with other artists and poets (Arthur Rimbaud and Robert Mapplethorpe are important influences). Reading and performances by Ms Smith complement the exhibition.

Fondation Cartier, 261 boulevard Raspail, Paris 75014. See the gallery's website.
