Last night the J. Paul Getty Museum kicked off its landmark retrospective exhibition of the work of Robert Mapplethorpe in conjunction with the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. The simultaneous exhibitions feature work drawn from the joint Getty/LACMA acquisition of art and archives made in 2011 from the Robert Mapplethorpe Foundation, and include both his most iconic images and lesser-known photographs. Check out some of the Instagram pics from the big event below.
