XYZ: Robert Mapplethorpe
Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac, Paris
This exhibition was one of a series of shows in which the gallery invited guest curators to rediscover Mapplethorpe’s work and apply their subjective perspective to transpose it into a completely new context.
A bold and radical exhibition, challenging the viewer’s perception of Mapplethorpe’s work, Marino explored the themes in Mapplethorpe’s famous XYZ Portfolios, selecting more than 60 photographs and 20 Polaroids from the Robert Mapplethorpe Foundation archive in New York, as well as works that were loaned from museums and private collections.

Beauty & Power: Renaissance & Baroque Bronzes from The Peter Marino Collection
The Wallace Collection
Marino’s fascination with the medium of bronze has resulted in an extensive repository of bronze sculptures, with an emphasis on Renaissance works, as well as French and Italian bronzes of the High Baroque. His collection was shown to the public for the first time at London’s Wallace Collection, from April 29 – July 25, 2010, with works that show the gamut of human experience, from Samson and the Philistine, attributed to Baccio Bandinelli, to Antonio Montauti’s seductive Diana.
Highlights of the exhibition include the French sculptor Corneille van Clève’s masterpiece Bacchus and Ariadne; two magnificent figurative groups by the Florentine sculptor Giovanni Battista Foggini, Apollo and Marsyas and David and Goliath; Ferdinando Tacca’s Hercules and Iole; Rober Le Lorrain’s Andromeda; and a pair of superb High Baroque vases, decorated with scenes from Roman history.
After London, the show was exhibited at the Huntington Library, Art Collection and Botanical Gardens in California from October 7, 2010 to January 9, 2011, and at the Minneapolis Institute of Art from February 6 – May 15, 2011.

Les Lalanne, deux sculpteurs au musée des Arts décoratifs
MAD Paris
A retrospective of more than 150 works by sculptors Claude and François-Xavier Lalanne, designed by Peter Marino, this non-chronological retrospective is organized in a thematic way, showing the extent of their creation through various works.
The exhibition opened with three major sculptures, L'Homme à tête de chou, Caroline Enceinte, and Le Lapin à Vent. It was further divided into three distinct zones inspired by a French chateau:
- The main space, la Nef (The Nave), was composed of the ‘gardens and water pools’ and were inhabited by the Lalannes’ iconic sheep and water animals. Lighting of la Nef varied from a pink, daybreak light at the entry, to a bright noon light in the gardens, and ended in a warm glowing sunset light, where the water animals mixed with the surreal camels in their desert setting.
- The rue de Rivoli side was divided into a series of ‘interior rooms’, all finished in rich lacquer colors corresponding to each grouping.
- The side facing the gardens of the Louvre was inhabited by a series of wild, jungle animals set in deep green jungle foliage, with a surreal gorilla cage punctuating the space.
Marino also holds the largest collection of Les Lalannes in the world.

Art and Industry: Contemporary Porcelain from Sèvres
American Craft Museum, NYC
Knowing that Peter Marino was a collector of Sèvres porcelain, the American Craft Museum’s chief curator, David Revere McFadden, asked him to design the museum’s exhibition of 20th century works from the famed porcelain manufacturer.
The exhibition was the museum’s first to focus on works made outside the United States. Marino chose to display the porcelain in a variety of period-specific rooms he created for the occasion, ranging in time from the early 18th to late 20th centuries.
Marino also loaned some of his Sèvres works to the exhibition.
