Image of the Week 

By Jonathan Jones

Edward Enninful, the former editor-in-chief of British Vogue, has curated an exhibition of Robert Mapplethorpe’s photographs opening this week at Thaddaeus Ropac gallery in Paris. He spoke to the Guardian about his long career in the fashion world, the difficulty of choosing just 46 pictures from Mapplethorpe’s vast oeuvre, and the qualities he admires in his photographs: “I loved the way Mapplethorpe used light. It was so powerful you wanted to touch the picture. There was a feeling that something new and incredible was happening in his work.”
