"Voyeurism, Los Angeles 1991" – 20x24 Vintage Silver Gelatin Print by Helmut Newton
"Voyeurism, Los Angeles 1991" – 20x24 Vintage Silver Gelatin Print by Helmut Newton
A standout example of Helmut Newton’s late-career work, “Voyeurism, Los Angeles 1991” was captured during his iconic residence at the Chateau Marmont on Sunset Boulevard, and first appeared in a Playboy pictorial spread. This striking image features a model in sheer stockings seated on a stack of film reels, watched by a hidden onlooker—a classic Newton twist that blends cinematic eroticism with psychological tension.
Shot during his years living in Los Angeles, this photograph marks Newton’s shift to West Coast glamour, without sacrificing the voyeuristic power and provocative themes that define his European-era work. Rarely available in the larger 20x24” silver gelatin format, this original vintage print has become one of Newton’s most sought-after and collectible pieces.
