Helmut Newton
Past: March 24 → July 30, 2012
The exhibition explores the sometimes secret fields of Newton’s provocative work, that tried to capture the beauty, eroticism and humour — even the violence — that he sensed in the social interaction within his familiar worlds. Designed by June Newton and punctuated by quotations from the photographer, it will be on both counts “Newton by Newton”.
