Helmut Newton: Icons & Legends (1989–2004). The Los Angeles and Monaco Period

Relocating to Los Angeles in 1989, Helmut Newton shifted his lens toward the icons of popular culture. Living at the storied Chateau Marmont Hotel, he photographed celebrities with the same sharp, provocative eye he once brought to fashion and nudes. This period produced intimate portraits and cinematic scenes featuring some of the most celebrated figures of the late 20th century, blending glamour with subversive tension. It was a final, brilliant chapter in a career that shaped photography forever.
