Description from the seller
A bold sequence of monochrome bodies—Big Nudes remains one of the most arresting works in late-20th-century photography. This edition brings together Helmut Newton’s iconic nude portraits shot between 1979 and 1981, capturing the sculptural tension of each model with a clarity that feels both quiet and commanding.
Introduced by Karl Lagerfeld’s essay Nordfleisch, the book transcends the category of a simple nude portfolio and stands as a landmark at the crossroads of fashion and art. This Japanese edition, published in 1991 by Libroport, has become increasingly hard to find, valued by collectors for its faithful printing and well-preserved production quality.
Its strong visual impact and carefully maintained condition make it a compelling addition to any photography or fashion-history library.
