Book Description
Through their inimitable mixture of eroticism, subdued elegance and decadent luxury, Newton's pictures reflect in the highest aesthetic quality an obsession with human vanity - from female exhibitionism to male voyeurism. With technical perfection, an extremely detailed style and a relentless directness, Newton staged the neverending psychodrama that contrasts glamour with the need for admiration, self-confidence with the desire for self-presentation, and Eros with Thanatos. Private Property was originally a three-part portfolio containing 45 b&w photographs. It includes Newton's best work from the period 1972-1983 - an exquisite assortment of fashion shots, portraits and erotic motifs which are all based on real location and luxurious lifestyles. The entire sequence of pictures from the Private Property portfolio is included in our book which first appeared in 1989.

Book Description
Helmut Newton is not a conventional fashion photographer. While many of his photos have appeared in fashion magazines, the fact remains that they are not your typical fashion photography. Even when the women are wearing fashionable clothes, the photos are more than mere fashion shots: they possess a timeless quality that at first appears inexplicable. The women in Newton's photos are mostly placed in settings that transcend the present & its impermanence. Newton's women also wear clothes, undergarments, & shoes that cannot be assigned to any particular trend in fashion. In fact, the artist has little interest in fashion at all. His chief interest is the female body-more than just its curves & angles, but its language, its drama, its sexual energy, its profundity. The Best of Helmut Newton is a collection of his finest work. Over 100 photos spanning Newton's career, demonstrate his gift for creative poses, daringly arranged scenery, & unique perspectives. In this collection are intimate photographs of celebrities such as Jodie Foster, Debra Winger, Elizabeth Taylor, Isabella Rossellini, Daryl Hannah, & many more. The Best of Helmut Newton also includes an overview of Newton's career & exhibits, & two essays on his work.

Book Description
Les polaroïds occupent une place à part dans le cœur de nombreux amoureux de la photographie qui se souviennent d'une époque où "le cliché instantané" signifiait une épreuve unique développée quelques minutes après avoir appuyé sur le déclencheur. Ce qui était autrefois un outil indispensable pour les photographes, leur permettant de tester leur composition avant d'imprimer la pellicule, a été rendu obsolète par la photographie numérique. Heureusement pour nous, le grand photographe Helmut Newton a conservé ses polaroïds, nous offrant l'occasion rare et privilégiée de voir la genèse d'un choix de ses plus belles images étalées sur plusieurs décennies et dont bon nombre ont été publiées par TASCHEN dans les albums SUMO, A Gun for Hire et Work. Rassemblées par sa veuve June Newton, ces images capturent la magie des séances de prises de vue d'Helmut Newton comme seuls les polaroïds peuvent le faire. -- Quatrième de couv.

Pages : 96

Book Description
With his Big Nudes, in the 1980s Helmut Newton created a quite unprecedented long-term bestseller. Simultaneously, it provided a concentrated image of his aesthetic agenda. Powerful women were presented in all their naked truth without fig leaves or fashion frills. This series of black-and-white photos, produced between 1979 and 1981, also marked a stylistic change in Newton's work. Elaborate layouts full of luxury and decadence gave way to an unambiguously formulated and monumental statement "Here they come!" Dressed only in their indispensable high heels, Newton's amazons selfconfidently paraded on show. They rippled their muscles and marched individually as well as in formation toward the observer. Helmut Newton's classic work was published by us in 1990 for the first time.
