Helmut Newton Foundation opens dual summer exhibitions in Berlin

exhibition · 2026-06-06

In Berlin, the Helmut Newton Foundation is hosting two simultaneous exhibitions: "Rooms / Stages" and "Helmut Newton’s One-off Album." The main hall showcases Newton's grand themes related to space and stage, while the front rooms feature works from a dozen artists exploring similar concepts. Additionally, the rear exhibition area presents a one-of-a-kind photo album by Newton, making its debut in Berlin, which illustrates the evolution of space into a stage. Collaborating with the Nicola Erni Collection, Phaidon has released the book "Helmut Newton: One-off," featuring an introduction by Philippe Garner, an interview with Gert Elfering and Matthias Harder, and a statement from collector Nicola Erni. The book is available globally (ISBN: 978-1-83729-151-9).
