    • Spanning over five decades, the photography of Helmut Newton (1920–2004) reached millions through publications like Vogue and Elle. His work transcends genres, infusing elegance, style, and voyeurism into fashion, portrait, and glamour photography. Mastering fashion photography early on, Newton’s shoots often blurred the lines between reality and illusion, with a clear aesthetic that permeated his fashion, portraiture, and nude photography. Women, including icons like Catherine Deneuve and Liz Taylor, take center stage in his work. Newton moved beyond traditional narratives, infusing his fashion photography with luxurious elegance, subtle seduction, cultural references, and humor. In the 1990s, he contributed to various international editions of Vogue, primarily shooting in Monte Carlo, where he lived from 1981. He transformed everyday locations into minimalist theatrical stages, portraying the eccentric lives of the wealthy with eroticism and elegance. Newton often questioned visual clichés with self-irony and empathy. This book, accompanying an international exhibition tour, showcases highlights from his prolific career, including rediscovered images, celebrating his lasting influence on modern photography and visual art. The exhibition will be on view at the Helmut Newton Foundation in Berlin from October 31, 2021, to May 22, 2022.

      Michelangelo Antonioni's 1966 film Blow-Up is a masterfully constructed and paced exploration of the enigmas that challenge our interpretations of both the moving and the still image. Photography plays a key role at the very core of the film, providing the metaphorical site for the director's questioning of the relationship between reality and perceptions. This book provides a fresh and stimulating study of Antonioni's masterpiece. It reassembles and re-tells - through onset stills and the original blow-ups - the film's key narrative and pictorial strands in a focused visual investigation that is complemented by the authors' analytical essays. These texts draw on new research and effectively situate the film in the social and creative contexts that informed Antonioni's screenplay and art direction - on the one hand through an account of the milieu of fashionable photographers and models and the media through which they became so vivid a phenomenon, and on the other hand through the revelation of the artistic and literary reference points that so pervasively enrich the film.
