The exhibition marks the latest collaboration between the Helmut Newton Foundation and leading international collections, which started in 2018 with the showcase Between Art and Fashion, featuring works from the collection of Carla Sozzani.
With CHRONORAMA. Photographic Treasures of the 20th Century, the foundation now presents photographs and early illustrations from the legendary Condé Nast Archive, acquired by François Pinault in 2021. The chronological showcase – which comprises nearly 250 works created between 1910 and the late 1970s for Condé Nast’s style-defining magazines – traces the evolution of the fashion industry against the backdrop of radical changes in western culture.
Naturally, Helmut Newton is represented in this remarkable collection, as he contributed extensively to Condé Nast magazines such as Vogue and Vanity Fair from the 1950s onward. Most of Newton’s photographs featured in this show have never been exhibited in Berlin.
Furthermore, the exhibition brings together an impressive array of Helmut Newton’s contemporaries and predecessors, among them trailblazing photographers like Diane Arbus, Cecil Beaton, David Bailey, John Deakin, Robert Frank, Evelyn Hofer, Horst P. Horst, George Hoyningen-Huene, Peter Hujar, William Klein, Lisette Model, Ugo Mulas, Irving Penn, Bert Stern, Deborah Turbeville, and Chris von Wangenheim.
