Description from the seller

Monumental Photographic Art: Helmut Newton – SUMO (1999) – Hand-signed original edition (10,000 copies)

The 1999 Taschen edition work “SUMO” by Helmut Newton is not merely a photographic monograph, but a milestone in modern publishing and photography history.

A sculptural statement piece:
With a weight of around 30 kilograms and imposing dimensions of 50 x 70 cm, SUMO, at its release, shattered all physical conventions of book printing. It is designed to be displayed on the presentation stand specially created for this edition by designer Philippe Starck. Through this presented form, the book transitions from a pure print medium into a sculptural spatial object that projects enormous physical presence in any architectural environment.
Photography history and blue-chip investment:
Helmut Newton (1920–2004) defined the aesthetics of nude and fashion photography in the 20th century. This work consolidates his oeuvre in an unprecedented retrospective. The first edition from 1999 was globally limited to exactly 10,000 copies and personally hand-signed by Helmut Newton.

As a closed, artist-signed edition, the original SUMO book has over the past decades established itself as an exceptionally value-stable and sought-after blue-chip investment on the international art market. It is a central reference object for any serious photography and art collection.
