“I always wanted to show the man behind the camera, and I believe this exhibition succeeds perfectly,” said Heiting. “His distinct, risqué photographs present what were, arguably, the world’s most beautiful models in a range of personalities.”
“Helmut Newton’s images moved beyond the accepted standard of how females could be portrayed, and many women found their own sexuality empowered by his work,” said Tucker. Originally conceived by June Newton, the artist’s widow, Helmut Newton is organized by Manfred Heiting, an Amsterdam-based collector and friend of the Newtons, with Anne Tucker, the MFAH’s Gus and Lyndall Wortham Curator of Photography. A complete set of the prints in the exhibition has been acquired by the MFAH. 205 of the provocateur’s photographs from these publications will be displayed for the first time in their entirety at the MFAH, on view through Septemin the Audrey Jones Beck Building. He first cemented his international reputation as the supreme recorder of female identity with his early books White Women (1976), Sleepless Nights (1978), and Big Nudes (1982). Newton (1920-2004) survived Nazi Germany as a self-supporting, nomadic teenager to emerge a world-renowned photographer.
