About the Item
Helmut Newton (1920-2004) was one of the greatest photographers of the 20th century, known for redefining the way women were portrayed in the fashion industry.
Born in 1920 in Berlin, Newton’s Jewish background forced him and his family to flee Germany as the Nazis ascended to power. The artist settled in Australia in the 1940s, where he later set up a studio and photographed models for several well-know magazines, including Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, Playboy and Elle.
However it wasn't until the 1970's that Newton established his signature aesthetic and modus operandi; a willingness to depict unflinching sexuality and a highly-erotic version of female confidence. Newton enabled fashion photography to depict a more human and carnal version of the typically staid and stylized models. Newton was also credited with helping fashion photography move beyond the studio and document the vitality of the street ... and the bedroom.
Like the best of Newton's work, this image has allusions to Film Noir, BDSM and of course, the Femme Fatale. Picturing a woman presumably named Jassara, the photograph was taken in a building along Rue Aubriot. She stands wearing a brace of some kind, smirking and staring intently forward.
Rue Aubriot is located in the Marais quarter of Paris. The street is a short cobblestoned lane running between Rue de Rivoli and Rue Sainte-Croix-de-la-Bretonnerie, just around the corner from the Hôtel de Ville. Newton, along with his wife June (Alice Springs), moved into 11 Rue Aubriot after relocating to Paris in 1961 to take on a full-time position with French Vogue. With both home and studio in the building, the street served not only as a backdrop but an extension of his private world.
Today, Newton's works can be found in the permanent collections of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the National Library of Australia in Canberra, the International Center of Photography in New York and the Helmut Newton Foundation in Berlin, which was established in 2003.
Note: In April 2019, a new auction record was achieved for Newton's work. "Sie kommen, Paris" was sold at $1.8M.
