Helmut Newton’s best photographic work from the 1960’s
to the 1990’s traveled around Europe in a major retrospective
in 1993. The catalogue of that show has now run to a 4th edition.
It contains all the icons of Newton’s special fields of interest
including fashion, nudes, portraits as well as works for which he
became world famous – the sensational fashion photos for the
British magazine Vogue, Liz Taylor with a parrot in a swimming pool,
Helmut Berger naked at his fireplace, Helmut Kohl with a German
oak, Salvador Dali on an IV drip, the "Big Nudes" and
some of his later macabre wax figures… Newton was a genius
for not being blinded by the glamour and the masquerade of pretence
that were prevalent in the world in which he lived. On the contrary,
he illuminated and exposed that world with bright lights and displayed
it in brilliant photographs which contain much more than they show.
