"Fashion photography was always the most important genre in Helmut
Newton’s work. Long before he filled his own first books by
international publishing houses with his fashion images, he worked on
commission for top magazines and fashion houses. Newton published quite a
few of these photographs in 1984 in his fourth book – programmatically
titled “World without Men.” The book includes poignant statements by
Newton alongside many of the iconic photographs that he took in Paris,
Saint Tropez, Los Angeles, Milan, Berlin, and London from the 1960s,
1970s, and 1980s. For the first time, the legendary photo book will be
transformed into an exhibition and presented in its entirety.
This will be complemented by “Archives de Nuit,” an exhibition
project and accompanying publication by Helmut Newton, which premiered
in 1992 in Paris. The project brings together diverse black & white
photographs by Newton from the late 1980s and early 1990s: portraits,
nudes, landscapes, and still lifes – but no fashion. Some of these
pictures will be presented for the first time in Berlin.
Furthermore, the French artist and author François-Marie Banier
was invited to present more than 30 of his photographic portraits in
“June’s Room”, among them Johnny Depp, Woody Allen, Samuel Beckett, Andy
Warhol, Louise Bourgeois, and Caroline von Monaco. Banier has exhibited
worldwide and his multifaceted works have been presented in numerous
publications." (Taken from Helmut Newton Foundation website)
