The Best of Helmut Newton: Selections from his photographic work (12ed)

The best of Helmut Newton's photographic work from the 1960s to the 1990s: with over 100 images, our volume provides a still valid insight into the complete work of the legendary master of erotic staging. Fashion, nudes and portraits, Newton's special areas in which he allows luxury, glamour and the vanities of the world, Eros and Thanatos to form a very special, unmistakable connection, are representative in their respective development and only represented with major works, real Newton icons: the sensational early fashion photos for British Vogue, Liz Taylor with a parrot in the pool, Helmut Berger naked by the fireplace, Helmut Kohl in front of a German oak tree, Salvador Dalí on a drip, the Big Nudes and the late, macabre wax figures. The secret of Helmut Newton (1920–2004) was that he did not allow himself to be blinded by the world of glamour, masquerade and beautiful appearances, but rather brightly illuminated and exposed them – in brilliant images that are more than what they show.
