The selection includes many portraits of well-known personalities, such as Catherine Deneuve, Paloma Picasso, Karl Lagerfeld and David Bowie. In the case of the fashion photography – in both black and white and in colour –, the pictures mainly cover editorial series for internationally renowned magazines, taken in the seventies and eighties. Newton's life-size Big Nudes were taken in Paris in 1980; five of them have hung in the museum's lobby since the creation of the foundation. In the current exhibition further life-size nudes will also be on display.
In June’s Room, visitors will discover a selection of enlarged contact sheets, with different constellations of figures on them, offering an unusual glimpse into Newton's way of working.
