Helmut Newton Polaroids

From 08 Jun 2011 to 19 Nov 2011

9 June-20 Nov. Berlin's Museum for Photography hosts an exhibition dedicated to the Polaroid snaps of one of the 20th century's most celebrated photographers, Helmut Newton.

The once-cutting edge art form revolutionised photography by providing an instant memory or record and was used by Newton extensively in the 1970s, primarily as preliminary "thumbnail sketches" prior to his acclaimed fashion shoots.

This exhibition provides a peep into the sketchbook of the artist, and displays for the first time over 300 works based on Newman's original Polaroids.
