Helmut Newton. Sumo. 20th Anniversary Edition Hardcover -

by June Newton (Editor); Helmut Newton (Photographer)


From the publisher

Helmut Newton (1920-2004) always showed a healthy disdain for the easy or predictable, so it's no surprise that the SUMO was an irresistible project. The idea of a book the size of a private exhibition, with spectacular images reproduced to state-of-the-art origination and printing standards, emerged from an open, experimental dialogue between photographer and publisher. With the SUMO weighing in--boxed and shrink-wrapped--at 35.4 kg (just under 80 pounds), Newton created a landmark book that stood head and shoulders above anything previously attempted, both in terms of conceptual extravagance and technical specifications. Published in an edition of 10,000 signed and numbered copies, the SUMO sold out soon after publication and quickly multiplied its value. It now features in numerous collections around the world, including New York's Museum of Modern Art. The legendary copy number one, signed by more than 100 of the book's featured celebrities, broke the record for the most expensive book published in the 20th century, sold at an auction in Berlin on April 6, 2000 for 620,000 German marks--about 317,000 euros. Now, this XL edition celebrates 20 years of SUMO, the result of a project conceived by Helmut Newton some years ago. Revised by his wife June, the volume gathers 464 images and a new booklet that takes us through the making-of this publishing venture--a spectacular tribute to the larger-than-life Helmut Newton, now in a friendly format.

Taschen Gmbh 2021. Gebonden, in originele cellofaan verpakking, 464 pages, 43,4 x 31,9 x 11,1 cm . ISBN 9783836578196. A tribute to one of the 20th century's most influential, intriguing and controversial photographers. SUMO established new standards for the art monograph genre, and secured a prominent place in photo-book history. This new edition, carefully revised by June Newton, is the fulfillment of an ambition conceived some years ago by Helmut Newton. He would surely be pleased that, a decade on from its first publication, SUMO now in a format that allows for a more democratic distribution?will reach the widest possible audience. However, proud owners of the new edition won?t wrestle with their copy of SUMO. It comes with a unique stand for displaying the book at home. SUMO was a titanic book in every respect: it broke records for weight, dimensions, and resale price. Helmut Newton (1920?2004) always demonstrated a healthy disdain for easy or predictable solutions. SUMO?a bold and… Read More
