A sample of celebrity portraits, fashion photos and 'Big Nudes' from 'Helmut Newton: SUMO,' on view in Berlin
in Berlin is launching an exhibition featuring all 400 images from the groundbreaking work, including fashion pictorials, bold nudes and arresting portraits of celebrities like Elizabeth Taylor, Imam, Catherine Deneuve, Salvador Dalí and Andy Warhol.
Born in Berlin between the wars, Newton began his career apprenticing with acclaimed fashion photographer Elsie Simon, better known as Yva. After fleeing the Nazis in 1938, he traveled to Singapore, and then Australia. In 1948, he married actress June Brunell, who became his most trusted critic and collaborator.
In the 1970s, after a near-fatal heart attack, he turned to overtly sexual imagery: Drawing on elements of voyeurism, lesbianism and BDSM, his"Big Nudes" were highly stylized, provocative Amazons who both tittlated and outraged. Complementing the anniversary exhibition, portraits by Newton's most illustrious assistants—George Holz, Just Loomis and Mark Arbeit—are being displayed under the joint title of"Three Boys from Pasadena." Arbeit will debut a series of life-sized photograms of female models, along with small-format photograms of toy dolls . Black-and-white nudes by Holz are joined by portraits of celebs like Madonna, Jack Nicholson and Steven Spielberg.
Also on view, for the first time, will be works from Helmut and June's private photo collection, recently acquired by the Foundation. More than 50 prints are featured in"June's Room," including works by Brassaï, Irving Penn, Man Ray, Robert Mapplethorpe, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Diane Arbus, Horst P. Horst and Richard Avedon." opens June 6 at the Helmut Newton Foundation in Berlin. Below, view highlights from the exhibition.
