About This Lot

This is a unique vintage print. Known for his subversive fashion photography and portraiture, Helmut Newton juxtaposes historical portraiture and eroticism in "Roselyn at Arcangues."

Helmut Newton (1920-2004) was born in Berlin, Germany, and had to abandon his home when the Nazi’s rose to power because of his Jewish heritage. The artist settled in Australia in the 1940s, and later set up a commercial photography studio. From there, Newton built a prolific career shooting models including Cindy Crawford and Charlotte Rampling for well-known magazines including Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, Playboy, and Elle. Though he continued to work commercially throughout his life, he started to focus on personal projects from the 1970s onward. In 1999, his now-famous book SUMO was released by Taschen publishing house, chronicling decades of his most iconic work. The artist died in an automobile accident on January 23, 2004 at the age of 83 in West Hollywood, California. Today, his photographs can be found in the collections of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the National Library of Australia in Canberra, and the International Center of Photography in New York.
