To coincide with what would have been the 70th birthday of the iconic American photographer Robert Mapplethorpe, Alison Jacques has invited acclaimed UK-based, German-born photographer Juergen Teller to curate an exhibition of Mapplethorpe's work. Teller worked in collaboration with The Robert Mapplethorpe Foundation in New York to make his selection. 

Considered ​one​ of the most important photographers of ​the 20th century, ​Robert Mapplethorpe is currently the subject of a major touring retrospective The Perfect Medium, which opened at the J. Paul Getty Museum and Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), Los Angeles ​in 2016. ​The exhibition is currently ​on view ​at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, Canada ​(until 22 January 2017)​​ and will travel to the Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia (October 2017 - February 2018). Mapplethorpe is also the subject of a recently released, Emmy nominated, HBO documentary Look at the Pictures (2016).
