"Elsa Peretti II, New York 1975" 16x20 Vintage Silver Gelatin Print by Helmut Newton
A rare variation of one of Helmut Newton’s most iconic images, "Elsa Peretti II, New York 1975" is a striking portrayal of the glamour, rebellion, and voyeurism that defined Newton’s work. Captured against the backdrop of New York’s towering skyscrapers, Peretti, the legendary model and jewelry designer, is seen in the famous Playboy Bunny costume, embodying both luxury and subversion.
Newton masterfully brings the intimacy of the night into the reality of the day, juxtaposing private fantasy against public spectacle. The powerful theme of the voyeuristic gaze permeates the image, as unseen eyes from countless windows above seem to watch Peretti. This rarely available variation of Newton’s classic work is an extraordinary collectible piece.
