16×20 Vintage Silver Gelatin. POA (photos of actual artwork). Elsa Peretti in Bunny Costume is a lasting image of the 1970s. Newton shot this work in New York amongst the towering skyscrapers that characterize the American Dream, equally epitomized by the Playboy lifestyle in the 70s. In it, Newton features the iconic motifs of his work- casting the intimacy of the night into the reality of the day, the clothing of the private into the sphere of the public and perhaps most masterfully, the voyeuristic gaze. From every window within the skyscrapers, we sense powerful gazes looking down on Peretti. Elsa Peretti is one of Helmut Newtons most iconic photographs. This variation of the better known version we have has rarely come to market. We have only two of these original vintage sIlver gelatin photographs available. This is a rare 1980’s vintage silver gelatin print from Newton’s “Private Property” Collection. The collection featured 45 images Newton selected as ones he thought his most impactful and provocative to date. The 45 image collection was produced in two box size sets with limited quantities on signed editions available. Newton hired American producer Norman Solomon to produce and distribute the collection which subsequently opened in Paris, London, New York, and Los Angeles. Following several years of uninspiring sales, the pair parted ways with Solomon receiving the remainder of inventory from Newton as consideration his services. This agreement between Newton and Solomon was executed in Los Angeles, California at the Chateau Marmont Hotel where Newton resided until his death, and has since been supplemented by further legal agreement in 2012 with the Helmut Newton Estate.
