About the Item

HELMUT NEWTON (1920-2004) Charlotte Rampling at the Hotel Nord Pinus, Arles, France, 1973 gelatin silver print Signed by artist on recto in margin, date inscription and estate stamp on verso 23.75 x 19.75 in. sheet Black and White Photography / Contemporary Art Photography Helmut Newton was already a well-established fashion photographer with a certain reputation for provocation when he suffered a heart attack on the street in New York in the autumn of 1971. This proved a pivotal event, crystallising a determination to invest more of his own history in his work and of his voyeuristic fascinations with the erotic. Newton’s subject matter had always extended beyond fashion per se to reflect a profound curiosity about the way a certain class of women lived. After his heart attack he raised his game, drawing on the unique resource of his own experience, his perversity and incisive observation finely tempered with dark humour. He became the Helmut Newton we know today, hailed as one of the most original and influential imagemakers of his era. Newton would henceforth constantly push the limits of provocation for his editorial and other commercial work, bringing multiple layers of narrative and implication to his picture-making. His images were always inspired by things he had seen – places, situations, gestures. His imagination, however seemingly outlandish, was always rooted in realities. Newton’s pictures combine premeditation and artifice with an opportunistic reportage sensibility, and are all the more persuasive for situating his sophisticated figures in authentic contexts. Charlotte Rampling, whose film roles had so far been relatively lightweight, was cast by Luchino Visconti for his sombre, shocking 1969 film The Damned, the story of a powerful German family facing the nightmare rise of the Nazis in the 1930s, a story highly pertinent to Newton, the son of prosperous Berlin Jewish parents and forced, traumatically, to flee his homeland in 1938 at the age of eighteen.
