Danger and decadence
The collection “Sex & Landscapes” brings together a rich selection
from Helmut Newton’s little-known landscape and travel photographs, as
well as unseen “tougher” sex pictures, described by Philippe Garner of
de Pury & Luxembourg as “Helmut’s world of dark, brooding seas, baroque
statuary, crashing waves, a long desert highway under threatening skies,
a Berlin park at dusk, enigmatic apartment buildings at night, the Rhine
seen from the air, the shadows of airplanes, all this interwoven with
hard and voyeuristic sexual imagery, plus a touch of his high style and
glamour.” The book’s publication coincides with the exhibition of “Sex
and Landscapes,” which will open on June 3 at the inauguration of the
Helmut Newton Foundation in Berlin.
