June 2014 marks the 10th anniversary of the Helmut Newton Foundation in Berlin, DE. The first exhibitions presented at the museum were “Us and Them”, a collaborative photography project between Mr. Newton and his wife Alice Springs, and Newton’s solo endeavor, “Sex and Landscapes”. To commemorate the milestone, foundation director June Newton (aka Alice Springs) has decided to revive the same two exhibitions.
Opening on June 4, 2014, “Us and Them” is a personal look into the lives of Newton and Springs. Self portraits, photographs of famous friends and other intimate shots give a never before seen look into the private life of what was perhaps the world’s most glamorous and provocative photographer. “Sex and Landscapes” is classic Newtown. Stunning large format nudes and landscapes all in black and white and all shot between 1974 and 2001.
This is sure to be a can’t miss exhibition for any fan of art and photography. Newton has always been heavily influential for me and I would love to make it out to Berlin for this.
