Helmut Newton: One-off
Helmut Newton: One-off
A stunning reproduction of a unique album of Helmut Newtonβs iconic photographs including many previously unseen images
German-Australian photographer Helmut Newton is one of the world's most renowned and recognisable fashion photographers. Inspired by Expressionist cinema, film noir, and surrealism, Newton's radical images continue to fascinate viewers today.
In 1999, along with collaborator Gert Elfering, Newton compiled a one-off photographic album comprising eight unique Polaroids, 16 chromogenic prints, and 79 gelatin silver prints, each mounted on board and accompanied by Newton's own pencil annotations.
This album is unique and One-off reproduces it in full, faithful to the album's original size, as a facsimile. The book allows readers to experience this remarkable object in its entirety and to marvel at Newton's artistic process and ingenuity.
Paired with a new foreword by Philippe Garner and an insightful interview between Matthias Harder and Gert Elfering, the book is published as a bilingual German-English edition.
