Silas Shabelewska
Portrait of Helmut Newton, Monte-Carlo 1995, ed. #4 of 5, B&W Photography

1995-2006

About the Item

This portrait of Helmut Newton was taken in 1995 during a TV Special on Helmut Newton with Télé Monte-Carlo (in the Principality of Monaco at Galerie Pierre Nouvion). Shabelewska was able to capture a rare image of Helmut Newton, the master of fashion photography, posing playfully in front of his work. The size difference between the artist and the photograph exposes the grandiose and fabulous side of Newton’s photos, while at the same time revealing a human and accessible side to this mythic figure. A tribute to a man who ennobled fashion photography, Shabelewska’s work immortalizes Newton, who passed away in 2004 in Los Angeles. Silver gelatin print mounted on aluminum 77 x 45 in. (195.5 x 114.4 cm) shot in 1995 - 1995 (executed in 2006) edition of 5 This is number 4 of 5 About Silas Shabelewska Born and raised in Monaco, Polish-American Silas Shabelewska has practiced photography since the age of 14.
