Bookshop: Vernissage: Helmut Newton in Hamburg
Published Tuesdays and Fridays, The Photography Post Market column highlights items for sale in our market. We also invite guest contributors to add items to our shops.
There are plenty of books on the man, but once again I am offering a rare collection of work from the great Helmut Newton. I’ve gushed plenty over Helmut’s photography in earlier market posts, so with this entry I’ll keep it brief. Sticking to the numbers, I would like to point out how much money Helmut’s body of work generates! His books come in multiple printing editions and languages, his prints continue to sell well in auctions, and his estate is managed so tightly that you can hardly find traces of his work being bootlegged (which is a huge accomplishment)! If you check the Helmut Newton listings on eBay, you will find page after page of merchandise…
With this item, I’m offering the rare publication from the Vernissage magazine series, Helmut Newton in Hamburg. This publication coincided with a two month show at the Deichtorhallen Gallery in 1993, and was available in limited capacity.
For all the archivists, please don’t get this confused with the hardcover collection, as this publication is listed separately in Newton’s official bibliography, and proved much more difficult to track down.
