The World of Helmut Newton

Turning 80 is not so bad when the occasion is marked by a sweeping retrospective of your life's work. An exhibition of 300 works by Helmut Newton, curated by Francoise Marquet, will open on October 30th at the New National Gallery in Berlin.Taschen is proud to bring you the catalog of the exhibition, edited by Manfred Heiting, project director of the German Center of Photography. This will be of particular interest to those who coveted our record-breaking publication of Newton's work, Sumo, but not its price tag. The catalog features works carefully selected for the exhibition from Newton's entire career, including many images not appearing in Sumo. This is the blockbuster photography show in Germany this year, if not in all of Europe. Get yourself a copy of the catalog, celebrate Newton's birthday, and enjoy an overview of the provocative, groundbreaking photography that has inspired an entire genre.
