Helmut Newton: Portraits

Published by us in 1985, Newton's collection of portraits can be considered a pantheon of VIP’s from the worlds of film, fashion, politics, and culture. However, his work goes beyond this. Newton once admitted that he would have most liked to be a Roman paparazzo, evident in his portraits. By the 1980’s, there were absolutely no ‘beautiful people’ in the world who did not want to be photographed by him. Anyone who had a portrait made by Newton knew the result would be extraordinary. In front of his camera, both men and women peeled off their covers, both literally and figuratively. His brilliant staged creations celebrate the attractiveness and prominence of his models as well as their vanity and imperfections. Newton’s top-quality work for major fashion journals and elitist art magazines is likewise first-class erotic art.
