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.

This book gets its name from 60 unusually dark and cryptic photographs. When Newton opened his "Archives of the Night" in the 90's, gloomy images emerged like flocks of bats. His famous "Domestic Nudes" appeared in pairs and tableaus together with sinister landscapes. Palace architecture was displayed next to morbid vanitas paintings as were bodies cut open from an anatomical museum of wax figures, placed on show alongside a portrait of a Dracula star putting on his make-up. With the Archives, Newton, who decided on the placement of these works himself, showed us his dark side. But at the same time, he was amusing himself with grey areas - also typical for Newton. The juxtaposition of seemingly disparate motifs created new and enigmatic relationships that oscillate between satire and poetry, brutality and gentleness, irony and pathos.

White Women, Helmut Newton's legendary first work, appeared more than twenty years ago. With it's superior mixture of aesthetics, technical perfection and bourgeois decadence it has lost nothing of its potency and attractiveness. Newton's work encompasses a wealth of themes, also embodying facets of the mass-media world of glamour, masquerade and show. Using subtle, yet striking images—like those of Paloma Picasso, Veruschka, Elsa Peretti, Karl Lagerfeld, David Hockney, and Charlotte Rampling—Newton embraces the delicate, natural beauty of the naked female body. White Women is a masterpiece of erotic visual literature.

...In his photographs of top film stars, fashion designers, actors, artists, writers, pop musicians and photographers, Newton has revealed the discrete charm of the bourgeoisie with the impudence of an Italian paparazzo. With ultimate technical perfection, audacity and his own inimitable style, he has captured in masterful photographs the psychological tension between the glamour of show business and the self-image his models wished to project. ...

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.

Un tributo a uno dei fotografi più influenti, intriganti e controversi del XX secolo. Il SUMO è stato un libro titanico sotto tutti gli aspetti: ha infranto ogni record quanto a peso, dimensioni e valore di mercato Helmut Newton (1920-2004) ha sempre dimostrato un sano disprezzo per le soluzioni facili o prevedibili. Il SUMO - un'audace avventura editoriale senza precedenti - era un progetto irresistibile. L'idea di una raccolta spettacolare di immagini, un libro con le proporzioni di un'esposizione privata, riprodotta su pagine di dimensioni eccezionali e con standard di stampa all'avanguardia, è nata nel corso di una conversazione aperta e conoscitiva tra fotografo e editore. Con l'imponenza fisica del SUMO, che arrivava a pesare - con scatola e cellophane - 35,4 chilogrammi, Newton ha creato una pietra miliare che spiccava nettamente su qualsiasi altra cosa tentata in precedenza, sia in termini di stravaganza concettuale che di specifiche tecniche. Pubblicato in una tiratura limitata di 10.000 copie firmate e numerate, il SUMO è andato esaurito quasi subito dopo la pubblicazione e ha visto moltiplicare rapidamente il suo valore. Questo fenomeno editoriale è ora parte di importanti collezioni in tutto il mondo, inclusa quella del Museum of Modern Art di New York. La leggendaria copia n.1 del SUMO, autografata da oltre 100 delle celebrità fotografate al suo interno, ha stabilito anche il record del libro più costoso pubblicato nel XX secolo, battuto a un'asta a Berlino il 6 aprile 2000 per 620.000 marchi, circa 317.000 ?. Il SUMO ha stabilito nuovi parametri nel settore della monografia artistica, conquistandosi un posto di tutto rispetto nella storia dei libri di fotografia. Questa nuova edizione, attentamente rivista da June Newton, realizza un'ambizione di Helmut Newton nata alcuni anni fa. A lui avrebbe certamente fatto piacere che il SUMO - ora in un formato che permette una distribuzione più democratica, un decennio dopo la sua prima pubblicazione - raggiungesse un pubblico il più vasto possibile. In ogni caso, gli orgogliosi proprietari della nuova edizione non dovranno lottare con la loro copia del libro, che è dotata di un leggio unico per esporlo a casa propria.
