"Karl Lagerfeld, Paris 1973" by Helmut Newton 16x20 Signed Vintage Silver Gelatin Print


This candid portrait for a young, monocled Karl Lagerfeld was taken in 1973, at a time when he was producing ambitious collections for Chloé. Both men forged up a lasting friendship, connecting over their shared love of photography. Lagerfeld was a great admirer and collector of Newton's work - recently noting during an interview with Aperture magazine; "I collect Helmut Newton, tons of them. Very beautiful and huge ones. The last thing I received from him was a beautiful photo of David Lynch and Isabella Rossellini."

Image is on a 16"x 20" silver gelatin sheet with the image measuring 17"x 11" and displays the beautiful finish silver gelatin prints are revered for.

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.
