"Pere Lachaise, Tomb Of Talma, Paris" 20x24 Vintage Silver Gelatin Print by Helmut Newton Photography

 Helmut Newton's Private Property Collection "Pere Lachaise, Tomb Of Talma Paris" original fine art shot in 1977 in the famous Parisian graveyard for Yves St Laurent.

This is a rare pre-1985 original vintage print produced in small numbers from a series of transparencies that Newton considered his most provocative and important work through 1985. Always unsigned, they were sent out to major publications to stimulate interest in a photographer’s work. Most were destroyed or written over, it is very rare to find them in immaculate condition.

This collection of vintage prints were gifted to Newton’s agent Norman Solomon, in recognition of the work he had carried out in promoting Newton’s “Private Property” series of exhibitions in 1985. This vintage fine art photograph comes with a Certificate of Authenticity signed by Norman Solomon. The ownership rights of this vintage print are supported by an original agreement with Newton in 1984, and supplemented by a further agreement with The Helmut Newton Estate in 2012. This print has been stored in conservation condition.
