Rafael Pavarotti exhibition at Musée des Arts Décoratifs

Overview

The Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris is hosting a monographic exhibition dedicated to Brazilian photographer Rafael Pavarotti. The retrospective, titled ‘Rafael Pavarotti, photographer’, showcases his fifteen-year career in high-fashion photography, featuring between 130 and 200 works, including magazine covers and portraits of figures such as Beyoncé, Rihanna, and Harry Styles.

Pavarotti’s work is characterized by a vibrant use of color and a focus on Black models, drawing inspiration from his Brazilian upbringing and Afro-Indigenous cultures. The exhibition highlights his contributions to major publications like Vogue and luxury houses such as Dior, Chanel, and Balenciaga. Notably, the collection explores his creative process from sketches to final layouts and references his 2020 achievement of photographing the first Dior campaign composed entirely of Black models.

Running from October 2, 2026, until May 2, 2027, this event marks the first solo exhibition at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs dedicated to a Brazilian photographer. The display establishes a dialogue between Pavarotti’s portfolio and ten selected photographs from the museum’s own collection.
