This is a fierce exhibition. It unfolds slowly, and at first you may be disappointed at the fairly magazine-like headshots and that familiar self-portrait of the too-cool artist with a cigarette hanging from his lips—but it builds, special purpose-built galleries curving around like a maze until there are a handful of explicit sex-act and S&M images.
