Opening: Thursday 31 October 2013 at 8 pm Exhibition: 1 November 2013 - 18 May 2014

 

Housed in a former Prussian Officer’s Casino in Berlin-Charlottenburg, the Helmut Newton Foundation (HNF) is currently exhibiting: Helmut Newman: Paris Berlin. Exhibition Grand Palais 2012 in conjunction with Greg Norman: Men.

Newton personally established this foundation a decade ago, in the fall of 2004 and since its inauguration, the HNF has organized and presented exhibitions on a regular basis. In 2012, the Grand Palais held the first comprehensive retrospective of Newton’s work in Paris; a city in which he received much critical acclaim. That show now returns to its original source in Berlin, celebrating Newton’s visionary portfolio that brought him both fortune and notoriety, in the form of over 200 provocative, erotically charged black and white fashion photographs.

At the HNF, Newton’s images are always presented in parallel with works by a contemporary artist. American portrait photographer Greg Gorman accompanies Newton for this exhibition, presenting his series of male nude photographs that were produced between 1988 and 2012.

Last Shot: Deborah Turbeville

Deborah Turbeville

Fashion's anti-Helmut Newton passed away last Thursday. Here she is in her own words.

Deborah Turbeville died last Thursday in Manhattan, New York, at the age of 81. Turbeville first gained acclaim in the early 1970s for her dark, moodily avant-garde approach to fashion photography, which stood in stark contrast to contemporaries like Helmut Newton and Guy Bourdin. She spoke to Dazed for the July 2013 issue on her anti-sleek aesthetic. 

Turbeville’s photographs may evoke wistful memories of bygone times, but she shudders at the word “nostalgia”. The subdued romance and languid elegance of her images have a timelessness that has made her one of the last half-century’s defining fashion photographers. After arriving in New York from Boston, Turbeville became a fashion editor for the likes of Harper’s Bazaar and Mademoiselle. She began taking pictures in 1966, soon developing a soft-focus style that stood out from the sleek aesthetic of contemporaries like Bourdin and Newton. Turbeville’s intuitively rebellious work, ambiguously positioned between fashion and fine-art photography, has had a lasting influence on both fields. 

I love that style is something you have innately – it can’t be bought

Kalendarz Pirelli 2014

Kalendarz Pirelli 2014 wypełniony jest fotografiami Helmuta Newtona, które miały zostać wykorzystane do wydania kalendarza w roku 1986. Niemiecki fotograf na niepublikowanych dotąd zdjęciach ponownie pokazał dominację kobiet, ich monumentalne piękno oraz charakter. "Silne kobiety zawsze mnie podniecały" - powiedział Helmut Newton.

W 1985 roku, brytyjski i włoski oddział Pirelli zleciły wykonanie zdjęć do edycji na rok 1986. Fotograf Bert Stern otrzymał zlecenie od Brytyjczyków, a Helmut Newton od Włochów. Postało spore zamieszanie, co do wyboru czyje fotografie zostaną opublikowane. Przypadkowo Helmut Newton porzucił zlecenie w trakcie realizacji z powodu problemów osobistych i w roku 1986 w kalendarzu znalazły się zdjęcia Bert Stern.

 

Premiera kalendarza Pirelli 2014 z okazji swoich 50. urodzin miała miejsce w Mediolanie 22 listopada br. Tegoroczna edycja zawiera 12 czarno-białych fotografii oaz  28 ujęć zza kulis, które były wykonane w Monte Carlo i Chianti. Helmut Newton realizując zlecenie na fotografie do kalendarza na rok 1986 dodatkowo otrzymał zadanie, aby na każdym ujęciu był widoczny produkt Pirelli.
