Description from the seller
Helmut Newton SUMO paperback 2009 with booklet.
Rare opportunity to get this book.
Baby Sumo from 2009
This Newtons Little Sumo photo book concerns the first edition in this format. Little Sumo contains 394 photos and weighs 5.6 kg. The dimensions are 38 x 27 x 6 cm.
The Helmut Newton SUMO was, in every respect, a gigantic book: It set records in terms of weight, dimensions and resale value. With a weight of 35.4 kilos, TASCHEN and Helmut Newton created a groundbreaking book that, both in terms of conceptual extravagance and technical specifications, far surpassed anything attempted before. In a run of 10,000 signed and numbered copies, the SUMO was soon sold out after its release and quickly multiplied its value. Copies are now in numerous major collections around the world, including the New York Museum of Modern Art.
The book was carefully revised by June Newton and remains a spectacular homage to the most influential, fascinating and controversial photographer of the 20th century, with hundreds of exquisite images, from his stunning fashion shots to his shimmering nudes, provocative stagings and portraits of celebrities.
