Bettina Rheims retrospective in Belgium

Yesterday we reported about the retrospective exhibition celebrating French photographer Bettina Rheims currently running at the Museum du Botanique in Brussels.

Today we can add further details and let our readers know which are the two Madonna portraits that are shown in Brussells.

Both included in the “Pourquoi m’as-tu abandonée” (Why did you leave me) series, the photographs’ titles are:

“Madonna blue in shiny blue underpants” (September 1994, New York), and
“Madonna showing her blue underpants” (also shot in September 1994 in New York).

A catalogue of the exhibition with text in English and French has been printed by Schirmer/Mosel and is available at a retail price of 35 €.
