Helmut Newton Portraits, Helmut Newton, First Edition 1987

About the Item

Portraits. New York: Pantheon Books, 1987. First Edition. A series of portrait photography from the renowned fashion and celebrity photographer, Helmut Newton. From the introduction, "Opulence, fetishism, decadence, malaise, fantasy, haughtiness, aggression, and chic: these terms are frequently deployed to either applaud or excoriate the photographs of Helmut Newton." Newton's interest in fashion as well as the erotic produced a style that was distinctive and versatile, with his work in Vogue and Harpers bearing key resemblances to his work with Playboy, and vice versa. The book is dedicated to Newton's wife June, also known as Alice Springs, a highly prolific and successful photographer in her own right, who also acted as the art director, editor, and curator of Helmut's work. A broad range of subjects are photographed, from actors, models, and musicians to political power brokers. A collection of celebrity portraits of figures including Andy Warhol, Salvador Dali, Anthony Burgess, Brassai, Sophia Loren, Julian Schnabel, and Grace Jones, Elizabeth Taylor, Paloma Picasso, Daryl Hannah, Ava Gardner Marianne Faithful etc. by the eminent and provocative photographer Near Fine in a Near Fine dust jacket. 247 pages. Publisher: Pantheon Books, New York Publication Date: 1987 Binding: Hardcover Edition: First Edition; First Printing.

Two 19th Century Spanish Colonial Brass Slipper Stirrups
Located in Stamford, CT
Two great examples of 18th century Spanish Colonial slipper stirrups. Not a pair, each similar yet different. One is brass with a lovely floral decoration, the other a rare copper type with a simple incised design. Both with a wonderful patina that only comes with real age and use. These definitely put in some serious miles. Possibly used in battle, or just to protect the rider from bramble. Imagine what these pieces of history may have witnessed. Unique gift for the equestrian or collector of horse memorabilia...
