"Sie Kommen, Paris, 1981 (Dressed)"by Helmut Newton 20x24 Vintage Silver Gelatin Print
A striking and powerful statement on femininity, strength, and elegance, "Sie Kommen, Paris, 1981 (Dressed)" is one of Helmut Newton’s most iconic and celebrated works. Translating to “She Comes”, this image, along with its nude counterpart, has become one of the most instantly recognizable and collectible Newton photographs.
First exhibited in life-sized prints at Newton’s “Private Property” Exhibitions in London and Paris, "Sie Kommen" presents four strong, confident women walking forward with an undeniable sense of authority and sophistication. The striking contrast between the fully clothed version and the nude version adds a dynamic dialogue about fashion, power, and the female form.
Both versions of "Sie Kommen" appear in Newton’s famous book SUMO, as well as multiple other renowned publications. This vintage silver gelatin print is a rare opportunity for serious collectors to own a defining work from Newton’s career, showcasing his ability to blend haute couture with cinematic storytelling.
