Helmut Newton: Legacy - Museum für Fotografie, Berlin - https://www.smb.museum/en/exhibitions/detail/helmut-newton-legacy/

31 October 2021 marks the opening of the expansive retrospective exhibition “Helmut Newton. Legacy“ at the Helmut Newton Foundation at the Museum für Fotografie in Berlin.Originally scheduled to coincide with the photographer’s 100th birthday, it was postponed for a year due to the pandemic. Visitors can now look forward to seeing not only Helmut Newton’s many iconic images, but also a number of suprises.
The entire exhibition space on the first floor of the museum will chronologically trace the life and visual legacy of the Berlin-born photographer. With around 300 works, half of which are being shown for the first time, the foundation’s curator Matthias Harder will present lesser-known aspects of Newton’s oeuvre, including many of his more unconventional fashion photographs, which span the decades and reflect the changing spirit of the times. The presentation will be complemented by Polaroids and contact sheets that give insight into the creation process of some of the iconic motifs featured, as well as special publications, archival material, and statements by the photographer.
