This monumental retrospective was published to accompany the major exhibition Helmut Newton: Work at the Neue Nationalgalerie in Berlin, celebrating the photographer's eightieth birthday. The volume is organised into thematic chapters that reflect the principal areas of Helmut Newton's photographic production. Following an introduction by Françoise Marquet and a preface by editor Manfred Heiting, the book explores Newton's celebrated fashion photography created for magazines including Vogue, Elle and Marie Claire. Subsequent sections present his famous celebrity portraits, the provocative Big Nudes, Girls of Berlin, Kodak Machine Prints, X-Rays and the cinematic location photographs that became his trademark. Throughout the publication, Newton's distinctive combination of glamour, irony, eroticism and carefully staged narrative is examined through full-page reproductions and detailed captions. The volume concludes with a comprehensive biography, bibliography and exhibition history, making it both a retrospective catalogue and an indispensable reference work on one of the most influential photographers of the modern era.
