"Mannequin Toss, Paris 1978" Original Silver Gelatin by Helmut Newton
1978

About the Item

In ‘Mannequin Toss, Paris 1978’, Newton recreates a surrealistic image taking direction from Yves Klein's seminal "Leap Into the Void'. The unnatural form of the figure, uncommon perspective, and the contrast between the stillness of the figure and the movement of the world below was characteristic of Newton's imagery for the Yves Saint Laurent campaigns. Image was framed and displayed in our gallery and has slight markings on back and a small piece of hinging tape on verso. See photos for details. Image has been stored in archival container or framed at all times. 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. Image measures approximately 18.5"x 12" and is on a 16"x 20" silver gelatin sheet. This collection of vintage prints were gifted to Newton’s agent Norman Solomon, in recognition of the work he had carried out in promoting Newton’s “Private Property” series of exhibitions in 1985. This vintage fine art print comes with a Certificate of Authenticity signed by Norman Solomon. The ownership rights of this vintage print are supported by an original agreement with Newton in 1984, and supplemented by a further agreement with The Helmut Newton Estate in 2012. This print has been stored in conservation condition
