In the retrospective, foundation director and exhibition curator Matthias Harder focuses on Newton’s fashion photography, including numerous previously unknown or forgotten images. Of course, Newton’s many iconic photographs from the other two main genres in which he worked – portraiture and nudes – will also be included. These will be complemented by Polaroids and contact sheets, which offer insight into Newton’s final selections for magazine editorials, fashion designers, and advertisers, and interestingly paraphrase his well-known visual work.

Following the presentation in Berlin, this exhibition of more than 300 photographs will travel to other venues abroad, starting in summer 2022.
