“Helmut Newton – Fact & Fiction” is on display until 1 May 2024
The major exhibition celebrating the life and work of the acclaimed German-Australian photographer opens to the public in A Coruña, Spain.
In a spectacular waterfront exhibition space at Muelle de Batería, A Coruña, the MOP Foundation presents “Helmut Newton – Fact & Fiction.” This captivating showcase, open from November 18, 2023, to May 1, 2024, transports visitors through six decades of Helmut Newton’s iconic photography.
Curated by Philippe Garner, Matthias Harder, and Tim Jefferies in collaboration with the Helmut Newton Foundation, the exhibition breathes life into Newton’s bold visual language. The repurposed silos and warehouses, designed by Elsa Urquijo Architects, provide a unique backdrop, adding an extra layer of intrigue.
The collection features Newton’s renowned ‘Big Nudes’ and memorable portraits of cultural luminaries like Andy Warhol and David Bowie. Yet, it goes beyond the iconic, offering glimpses into Newton’s lesser-known ‘landscapes,’ capturing the essence of cities like Paris and A Coruña.
The exhibition tells a captivating story, not just through photographs but also through videos, personal images, and memorabilia, providing intimate insights into Newton’s life and creative process.
The MOP Foundation, known for its passion for fashion, photography, and A Coruña, continues its legacy of successful exhibitions. With free admission and profits from merchandise sales contributing to the Future Stories project, supporting budding creators, the exhibition invites all to be part of the artistic celebration.
