Helmut Newton - Fact & Fiction

Helmut Newton – Fact & Fiction was the MOP Foundation's landmark exhibition dedicated to the life and work of this legendary German-Australian photographer.

Over the course of a six-decade career, Helmut Newton came to be regarded as one of the most important photographers in the world. A prolific image-maker and true visionary, he continues to exert a profound influence on contemporary photography and the visual arts.

Helmut Newton – Fact & Fiction was produced in close collaboration with the Helmut Newton Foundation and curated by Philippe Garner, Matthias Harder and Tim Jefferies, who conceived a site-specific project for the MOP Foundation's exhibition space in the port of A Coruña. The selection of photographs in the exhibition was a fine example of Newton's bold, empowering and unapologetic visual language — including his iconic Big Nudes series and unforgettable portraits of extraordinary figures such as David Bowie, Charlotte Rampling and Elsa Peretti.
