A striking departure from Helmut Newton’s signature female portraiture , "Fat Hand with Dollars, Monte Carlo 1986" is a powerful statement on wealth, excess, and the glamour of Monaco . After relocating to Monte Carlo in 1981 , Newton was deeply inspired by the opulence of his new surroundings, capturing the city’s extravagant culture in a series of bold and unconventional images .
This rare composition focuses not on Newton’s signature erotic femininity , but rather on the symbols of power and affluence —a hand gripping a stack of cash , embodying the indulgence and grandeur of Monte Carlo’s legendary casinos and high society . With its stark contrasts and dramatic lighting, this print encapsulates Newton’s ability to infuse still-life photography with narrative depth and allure.
