Andy Warhol Paris
A rare pre-1985 original vintage print produced in limited numbers from a series of transparencies that Newton considered his most provocative and important work through 1985.
Description
A most unconventional portrait, Andy Warhol is alive but is positioned and laid out as if sleeping or even dead. This picture launched the first issue of Helmut Newton Illustrated with the title “Sex and Power.” With the camera positioned above and looking down upon Warhol, it's as if we are being invited to pay our last respects, in a voyeuristic intimacy.
"It's that I don't like white paper backgrounds. A woman does not live in front of white paper. She lives on the street, in a motor car, in a hotel room."
