Description
Rare Helmut Newton autographed "Paris 1981" duotone printed book plate. Published in 1982 Newton’s Big Nudes book. 9" x 12 1/8". Weight 1 oz. Signed in felt pen on white boarder. In very good condition. With his Big Nudes, in the 1980s Helmut Newton created a quite unprecedented long-term bestseller. Simultaneously, it provided a concentrated image of his aesthetic agenda. Powerful women were presented in all their naked truth without fig leaves or fashion frills. This series of black-and-white photos, produced between 1979 and 1981, also marked a stylistic change in Newton?s work. Elaborate layouts full of luxury and decadence gave way to an unambiguously formulated and monumental statement..**In house shipping available on this lot**
