Inside Helmut Newton 100

Mar 6 – Aug 31, 2020
Pound St, Petworth GU28 0DX, UK

It would be an understatement to say that the late fashion photographer Helmut Newton, known as “the King of Kink,” was provocative. As Newton once said, “If a photographer says he is not a voyeur, he is an idiot.” Vogue editor Anna Wintour said that his photographs were “synonymous with Vogue at its most glamorous and mythic.” In an Instagram exhibition dedicated to the intrepid photographer, a tour of the gallery is available, along with reflections from Simon de Pury—the artistic director of Newlands House—and Newton’s friends. —E.C.
