Amazingly, despite the fact that Newton was known for his erotically charged photography, it was not until he was 59 years old that he shot his first nudes. “It was not until 1980 that I photographed what I consider to be my first nude. In quick succession I executed the Big Nudes, the Naked and Dressed, and, in Los Angeles, the Domestic Nudes series. The fact that the models in these photographs were the same girls I used in my fashion work gave them a certain elegance and coolness that I was looking for in my work.” - Helmut Newton - on models. "American Photo", January/February 2000.
This collection of vintage prints was gifted to Newton’s agents, Norman Solomon and John Dunnicliff, in recognition of the work he had carried out in promoting Newton’s “Private Property” series of exhibitions in 1985. The ownership rights of this vintage print are supported by an original agreement with Newton in 1984, and supplemented by a US-court's endorsed settlement in 2012.
