Helmut Newton (photos of actual artwork) 16x20 Vintage Silver Gelatin, Perhaps Newtons most iconic work that followed on from the work he did for Playboy, Elsa Peretti in Bunny Costume is a lasting image of the 1970s. Newton shot this work in New York amongst the towering skyscrapers that characterize the American Dream, equally epitomized by the Playboy lifestyle in the 70s. In it, Newton features the iconic motifs of his work- casting the intimacy of the night into the reality of the day, the clothing of the private into the sphere of the public and perhaps most masterfully, the voyeuristic gaze. From every window within the skyscrapers, we sense powerful gazes looking down on Peretti. This is a rare 1980's vintage silver gelatin print from Newton's "Private Property" Collection. The collection featured 45 images Newton selected as ones he thought his most impactful and provocative to date. The 45 image collection was produced in two box size sets with limited quantities. Newton hired American producer Norman Solomon to produce and distribute the collection which subsequently opened in Paris, London, New York, and Los Angeles. Following several years of uninspiring sales, the pair parted ways with Solomon receiving the remainder of inventory from Newton as consideration his services. This agreement between Newton and Solomon was executed in Los Angeles, California at the Chateau Marmont Hotel where Newton resided until his death,and has since been supplemented by further legal agreement in 2012 with the Helmut Newton Estate. The piece is accompanied with a coa from Norman Solomon (Helmut Newton agent) please see JPG.
