Book Description: Benedikt Taschen Verlag, Koln, GERMANY, 1999. Cloth in Jacket with Stand. Book Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First Edition 1/10000. Elephant Folio. 464pp, profusely illustrated in color and b&w. Text in English, French and German. The most monumental book yet published on the work of a single photographer, "Sumo" was Benedikt Taschen's love letter cum monument to the transgressive images of the late, great Helmut Newton. Edited by his wife June, (known professionally as photographer Alice Springs), this truly colossal tome has distilled more than forty years of Newton's ground-breaking fashion editorial work, celebrity portraits, and erotica into four hundred and fifty extraordinarily reproduced images that took fifty people working for three years at a reported cost of ten million Deutschmarks to produce. It weighs in at almost seventy pounds, and comes complete with a chrome plated tubular steel stand designed especially for the book by Taschen favorite Philippe Starck. A most handsome copy in a like dust jacket with the stand of the 1999 numbered edition SIGNED by Helmut Newton showing some slight pulling to a few pages at the center of the textblock where the book lay opened, a tiny bit of soiling to the foredge, and a small, unobtrusive scratch to the lower edge of the front board. It has been priced accordingly. PLEASE NOTE: Additional shipping costs are required for this item beyond our standard rates due to its value, size and weight - we will inform you of the applicable amount at time of purchase. Signed by the Photographer. Photography Monograph. Bookseller Inventory # 020482
