The selection includes rare prints from the Helmut Newton Estate, of which Hamiltons is a co-representative, alongside a collection of polaroids from some of Newton’s most famous shoots.
The London based exhibition includes a number of important works extremely rare in the art market.
Newton, born in Berlin in 1920, commenced his photographic career at sixteen working for renowned Berlin photographer, Yva. At eighteen he emigrated to Australia then moved to Paris in 1957. There he began work as a fashion photographer and his images regularly appeared in magazines including, most notably, Vogue. His work has been the subject of numerous exhibitions and is permanently enshrined in many institutional collections and the Helmut Newton Foundation, Berlin. Awards include the German Große Bundesverdienstkreuz, the French Grand Prix national de la photographie and the World Image Award.
