You have a lot of money you don't know what to do with? Let me help you... Tashen, a publisher that is usually known for offering beautiful books at a very reasonable price, is currently showing in its Paris store, this 464 page "sumo" book (26.7 x 37.4 cm or 10.5 x 14.7 in.) in which you can find most of the photographs by Helmut Newton. Stunning! Why is it on display in the Paris Tashen store at the moment? Because there is a huge Helmut Newton exhibit at Le Grand Palais at the moment... Last but not least, you can buy it for as little as 10,000 euros/dollars!
She has to be a gym rat! Nice angled shot which barely distorts the obvious!
ReplyDeleteI saw this exhibition 10 days ago. It has to be seen to be believed. Just remarkable! He was certainly wau ahead of his time. I hope the book is eventually available for the public to feuilleter through. Thanks Eric.
ReplyDeleteOk, so after you buy for me that cute little house you showed a few years ago, buy this book for my parlor. Thank you so much. You're such a great friend. Oh, one more thing: the woman on the cover...?
ReplyDelete"You have a lot of money you don't know what to do with? Let me help you... " Heck, I'll help you too!
ReplyDeleteThis is a fantastic piece of art just in itself, but I'm sure I could make you proud of your 10,000 euros/dollars if you want to share it.
This photo still stick out in my mind for Easter Eric...but it was in May 2009!
ReplyDeleteIs there an e-book version of this book? :)
ReplyDelete10 000 euros only for the eyes?
ReplyDeleteHow much for the hands?!?
Just a joke !
This exhibition is N°1 on my to-do list...
ReplyDeleteFor info, if any of you is interested, the book is "a little cheaper" on www.fnac.com: "only" 7125 € !!
Happy Easter !!
If I had that kind of money, or if you have that kind of money, there are places in the world that don't have clean water and many people die for the lack of that simple necessity. Sounds like a much better spending plan to me!
ReplyDeleteI think Helmut was a genius, but 10,000 euros -- No, thanks!(Don't want to say what I did to deserve it, but I got yelled at by Newton once.)
ReplyDeleteSi c'est de l'art, c'est peu quand on pense que des toiles ou des objets sont vendu(e)s 10, 100, 1000 fois plus cher. Tout est question de priorité dans la vie, ça ne se discute pas. Il y a ceux qui peuvent s'offrir l'art, ceux qui aiment, ceux qui ne peuvent pas se l'offrir, mais aimeraient et ceux qui n'aiment pas.
ReplyDeleteJoyeuses Pâques :)
WEll I'm sick I can't see the exhibit, add the fact that I've not been inside the Grand Palais! IF I had the book, I'm sure someone would spill a glass or vin rouge on the cover!

ReplyDelete@Alexa "Don't want to say what I did to deserve it, but I got yelled at by Newton once." Oh, come on Alexa, you can tell us. :)
ReplyDelete@Virginia "IF I had the book, I'm sure someone would spill a glass or vin rouge on the cover!" So true, that's just my luck with those "coffee table books".
I have admired Newton's work for years. I have seen the book and it is fabulous.
ReplyDeleteWhen my wife and I were in Paris in 2002 we stayed in the same building on rue Aubriot in the 4th arr. that the theme shot was taken and his studio was in when he shot in Paris.
Thank god he shot in B&W.
Just buy the mini version for $150 USD..
