Legacy

From 28th of March to 24th of Novembrer 2024 it will be the turn of the retrospective Helmut Newton. Legacy, curated by Matthias Harder, Director of the Helmut Newton Foundation in Berlin, and Denis Curti, on the occasion of the hundredth anniversary of the artist’s birth (Berlin, 1920 – Los Angeles, 2004).

Helmut Newton. Legacy is the most complete exhibition of one of the most loved and discussed photographers of all time. With more than 250 photographs, polaroids and archive documents, the exhibition retraces through the decades the immense legacy left by Newton, an artist who always knew how to live up to his bad reputation. On the island of San Giorgio Maggiore, overlooking the splendid San Marco basin, the photographs suspended between water and sky further emphasize the elegant and bold style of the photographer. Among iconic images, a corpus of unpublished works that reveal the lesser-known aspects of the photographer's work and specific insights into the most unconventional fashion shoots.

Curators: Matthias Harder, Denis Curti.
A joint initiative by Marsilio Arte and Fondazione Giorgio Cini.
