From the Publisher:
The collection “Sex & Landscapes” brings together a rich selection from Helmut Newton’s little-known landscape and travel photographs, as well as unseen “tougher” sex pictures, described by Philippe Garner of de Pury & Luxembourg as “Helmut’s world of dark, brooding seas, baroque statuary, crashing waves, a long desert highway under threatening skies, a Berlin park at dusk, enigmatic apartment buildings at night, the Rhine seen from the air, the shadows of airplanes, all this interwoven with hard and voyeuristic sexual imagery, plus a touch of his high style and glamour.” The book’s publication coincides with the exhibition of “Sex and Landscapes,” which will open on June 3 at the inauguration of the Helmut Newton Foundation in Berlin.

Sex and Landscapes was conceived in 2001 as the inaugural show for the new Zurich gallery of Helmut's dealers de Pury & Luxembourg. The idea of introducing the landscapes evolved into the concept of a mix that would balance these with a selection of Helmut's tougher sex pictures. Sex and Landscapes became a fluid concept that has been expanded over time with 30 futher images to bring it to its present Sex and Landscapes will open the Helmut Newton Foundation in the Wilhelm II Palace in Berlin together with the exhibition 'Us and Them' which is a remake of the very successful exhibition by June and Helmut Newton that was shown at different places between 1998 and 2000. The book, which is also the exhibition catalogue, will contain 79 pictures on 112 pages. The selection of pictures at the Berlin exhibition and in the book is enlarged by around 20 compared with the De Pury & Luxembourg exhibition at Zurich.
