Raquel Welch",Helmut Newton We are offering a series of eight posters (20"x30") in limited quantities of some the most famous works by one of the great photographers, Helmut Newton. Newton's reputation as a fashion photographer was secured when he was rewarded a commission to illustrate fashions in a special Australian supplement for Vogue magazine, published in January 1956. He won a twelve-month contract with British Vogue and he left for London in February 1957. He settled in Paris in 1961 and continued work as a fashion photographer. His works appeared in magazines including, most significantly, French Vogue and Harper's Bazaar. He established a particular style marked by erotic, stylised scenes, often with sado-masochistic and fetishistic subtexts. Newton shot a number of pictorials for Playboy, including pictorials of Nastassia Kinski and Kristine DeBell. In his later life, Newton lived in Monte Carlo and Los Angeles. He was killed when his car hit a wall in the driveway of the famous Chateau Marmont, the hotel on Sunset Boulevard which had for several years served as his residence in Southern California. It has been speculated that Newton suffered a heart attack in the moments before the collision. His ashes are buried next to Marlene Dietrich at the Städtischen Friedhof III in Berlin.
