HELMUT NEWTON (Germany, 1920- California, 2004). "Shoe, Monte Carlo, 1983. Gelatin silver. Later print. Signed, titled, dated in pencil and copyright credit stamp on verso. No edition number. Provenance: McCord Collection, New York. Measurements: 36 x 24.6 cm (image); 40 x 31 cm (paper). An ankle subtly cocked and shod in a high heeled shoe occupies the entire photographic plane in this iconic image by Helmut Newton. As a place associated with glamour and luxury, Monte Carlo provides a perfect backdrop for Newton's exploration of fashion and eroticism. The fetishism of high heels and female ankles are explored by the artist in different contexts. In all of them, through daring and carefully crafted compositions, he redefines the parameters of fashion photography and eroticism, the role of women and power relations. Provocation, anti-voyeurism and female empowerment are often attributes of her photos. Newton was born in Berlin, attended the Heinrich-von-Treitschke-Realgymnasium and the American School in Berlin. Interested in photography from the age of 12 when he bought his first camera, he worked for German photographer Yva (Elsie Neuländer Simon) from 1936.The increasingly oppressive restrictions imposed on Jews by the Nuremberg laws caused his father to lose control of the factory; he was briefly interned in a concentration camp on Kristallnacht, , which eventually forced the family to leave Germany. Newton's parents fled to Argentina. Finally, arriving in Singapore, he found he could remain there, first briefly as a photographer for the Straits Times and then as a portrait photographer. Newton was interned by British authorities while in Singapore and was sent to Australia aboard the Queen Mary, arriving in Sydney on September 27, 1940. He was released from internment in 1942 and worked briefly as a fruit picker in northern Victoria. In April 1942, he enlisted in the Australian Army and worked as a truck driver. After the war in 1945, he became a British subject and changed his name to Newton in 1946. That same year, Newton set up a studio on Flinders Lane in Melbourne and worked in fashion, theater and industrial photography during the postwar period. He shared his first joint exhibition in May 1953 with Wolfgang Sievers,The 'New Visions in Photography' exhibition was shown at the Federal Hotel in Collins Street and was probably the first glimpse of New Objectivity photography in Australia. Newton became associated with Henry Talbot, a German Jew who had also interned at Tatura, and his association with the studio continued even after 1957, when he left Australia for London. The studio was renamed 'Helmut Newton and Henry Talbot'. Newton's growing reputation as a fashion photographer was rewarded when he secured a commission to illustrate fashions in a special Australian supplement for Vogue magazine, published in January 1956. He won a 12-month contract with British Vogue and left for London in February 1957, leaving Talbot to manage the business. Newton left the magazine before the end of his contract and went to Paris, where he worked for French and German magazines. He returned to Melbourne in March 1959 to work with Australian Vogue. Newton and his wife finally settled in Paris in 1961. His images appeared in magazines such as the French edition of Vogue and Harper's Bazaar. He established a particular style marked by erotic and stylized scenes, often with fetishistic subtexts. In 1980 he created the "Big Nudes" series. His "Nude and Clothed" portfolio followed, and in 1992 "Domestic Nudes," which marked the pinnacle of his erotic-urban style, all of these series supported the dexterity of his technical skills. Newton also worked on more fantastical portraits and studies. He did a series of illustrations for Playboy, including illustrations of Nastassja Kinski and Kristine DeBell.

HELMUT NEWTON (Germany, 1920- California, 2004). "Sylvia Examining Her High Heeled Shoes in My Studio," Paris, 1981. Gelatin silver. Signed, titled, dated and annotated in pencil. Provenance: Maurizio Siniscaldo Gallery, Naples, Italy. Measurements: 54,6 x 40 cm (image). "Sylvia examining her high heels in my studio" is a photograph that reflects many of the themes that define Helmut Newton's way of working: the carefully crafted composition (with the light of a street lamp filtering in from the darkness of the urban night contrasts with the clarity of the nude and the window frame), the fetish element of the stiletto-heeled shoes that Sylvia holds without mannerism.... Newton often explores themes of power, control and fetishism in her work. In this image, the woman's introspective countenance (oblivious to the gaze of male desire) and the naturalness of her posture empower her, rather than reducing her to the stereotypical female object. In doing so, Newton redefines the parameters of erotic and fashion photography: provocation, anti-voyeurism and female empowerment are his attributes. His women do not appear languid as odalisques but defiant, unabashed and without admitting easy voyeurism. In photographs such as this one, she explores the boundaries between the intimate and the public, while carefully planning her compositions to maximize visual impact. Newton was born in Berlin, attended the Heinrich-von-Treitschke-Realgymnasium and the American School in Berlin. Interested in photography from the age of 12 when he bought his first camera, he worked for German photographer Yva (Elsie Neuländer Simon) from 1936.The increasingly oppressive restrictions imposed on Jews by the Nuremberg laws caused his father to lose control of the factory; he was briefly interned in a concentration camp on Kristallnacht, , which eventually forced the family to leave Germany.

HELMUT NEWTON (Germany, 1920- California, 2004). "Domestic Nude 7, Los Angeles, 1992. Gelatin silver, copy 9/15. Signed, titled, dated and numbered in pencil. Provenance: Maurizio Siniscaldo Gallery, Naples, Italy. Measurements: 45,2 x 36,2 cm (image). The series "Domestic Nude" that Helmut Newton carried out in Los Angeles in 1992 represented another turn of the screw for artistic and fashion photography. In it, he places women in provocative poses and in unusual domestic spaces: in the doghouse, leaning against the refrigerator.... They are not shown languidly as odalisques but empowered and defiant, without modesty and without admitting easy voyeurism. In "Domestic Nude" she explores the boundaries between the private and the public, between women as subject and object. Newton also carefully plans her compositions to maximize visual impact.

Gerahmt, dort mit montierter Plakette mit dem Künstlernamen. - Entlang der Kanten vereinzelt mit leichtem Farbabrieb als Spur der Rahmung. Im oberen Bereich der Darstellung mit einem Leinwandeinriss, dieser hinterlegt und retuschiert. Firnis leicht angegilbt. Unter UV eine punktuelle retusche erkennbar. Insgesamt gut. Seestück in frischen Farben und bewegtem Pinselduktus. Der Weg des deutsch-dänischen Malers zur Kunst führte Alfred Jensen zunächst zu Schiffsreisen, die der damals 14-Jährige bereits nach Afrika, Australien und China unternahm. Im Anschluss an die Reise studierte er von 1884 - 1885 Malerei in Hamburg bei Heinrich Leitner. Mit Unterbrechung einer weiteren Schiffsreise führte er sein Studium ab 1897 an der Kunstakademie Kassel bei Emil Neumann fort. Ausgehend von den zahlreichen unmittelbaren Eindrücken auf See setzte sich Jensen in seinem malerischen Werk ausschließlich mit Marinestücken und Schiffsdarstellungen auseinander. Den Darstellungen der Schiffe kommt dabei eine präzise Detailgenauigkeit zu, die mitunter erklärt, warum Jensens Schiffsportraits heute in etlichen Marinemuseen Deutschlands wie in Hamburg, Kiel und Bremerhaven vertreten sind. Oil on canvas. Signed and hardly readable dated. Framed, there with mounted plaque with the artist's name. - Some slight colour abrasion along the edges as traces of framing. A canvas tear in the upper area of the depiction, closed and here and with retouches. Varnish slightly yellowed. One selective retouch recognisable under UV. Good overall. Seascape in fresh colours and lively-like brushstrokes. - The German-Danish painter's path to art initially led Alfred Jensen to travel by ship, which the then 14-year-old undertook to Africa, Australia and China. Following, he studied painting in the class of Heinrich Leitner in Hamburg from 1884 to 1885. After an interruption for another journey, he continued his studies from 1897 at the Kunstakademie Kassel under Emil Neumann. Based on the numerous direct impressions he gained at sea, Jensen focussed exclusively on marine pieces and depictions of ships. The depictions of the ships are characterised by a precise attention to detail, which partly explains why Jensen's ship portraits are today represented in a number of naval museums in Germany, such as Hamburg, Kiel and Bremerhaven.
