Helmut Newton Foundation Berlin

Established in 2003 by Helmut and June Newton, dedicated to keep their legacy alive.
(786)

The Helmut Newton Foundation was established by Helmut Newton himself at the end of 2003. It is a foundation registered according to Swiss law in Zurich, Switzerland. The Helmut Newton Foundation is an international foundation dedicated to the promotion, preservation and presentation of the photographic works of Helmut and June Newton, who under the name of Alice Springs has also produced a signif

icant body of portraiture photography since 1970. At its inception, Helmut Newton endowed the Foundation with numerous original photographs that comprise a significant proportion of his artistic work. In October 2003, the Helmut Newton Foundation entered into a formal agreement with the Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation (Stiftung Preußischer Kulturbesitz) that allows the Helmut Newton Foundation unlimited use of the ground and first floors of the former military casino in Berlin-Charlottenburg (Landwehrkasino) for exhibition purposes. According to the wishes of Helmut Newton, the Foundation should not be a “dead museum,” but rather a “living institution.” Various aspects of Newton’s multifaceted, innovative and provocative works will be presented over a series of exhibitions. The works of other artists and photographers will also be presented in dialogue with Newton’s work.

Let us celebrate what would have been Billy Wilder's 120th birthday today!

Wilder was one of the most influential directors and screenwriters in film history, known for classics such as "Sunset Boulevard" (1950), "Some Like It Hot" (1959), and "The Apartment" (1960). Before becoming a Hollywood icon, Wilder spent his youth in Berlin during the vibrant cultural atmosphere of the late 1920s and early 1930s. Berlin profoundly shaped Wilder’s artistic voice, but after the rise of the N**i regime, he had to leave Germany and eventually settled down in Hollywood.

Wilder and Helmut Newton shared a connection rooted in their shared background—the German-born Newton also had to flee his hometown Berlin in 1938 due to the regime’s persecution of Jews—and their shared their love for their "second home" Los Angeles. Newton portrayed Wilder many times, including privately in Wilder's house or for assignments such as this portrait for Traveler magazine in 1991. What a beautiful portrait to remember one of cinema’s greatest filmmakers.

Today, we want to remember the French novelist, playwright, and screenwriter Françoise Sagan on what would have been her 91st birthday.

Sagan became a literary sensation at just 18 years old with her debut novel, "Bonjour Tristesse". The novel’s portrayal of youthful freedom, desire, and moral ambiguity shocked postwar France and made Sagan an international star almost overnight. Throughout her career, Sagan explored themes of love, loneliness, and disillusionment, often focusing on wealthy characters.

In her personal life she had a passion for fast cars, gambling, and nightlife, which made her a symbol of French intellectual and cultural freedom. It is to no surprise that Helmut Newton photographed her in a Jaguar E-Type, in 1963. This incredible motif is also currently on view in the beautiful garden of the historic in Como, as part of the exhibition "Helmut Newton. Cars". The exhibition was initiated by LARUSMIANI and FUORICONCORSO ® and will only run through 30 June. Don’t miss the opportunity to see this portrait in person! The garden is open daily from 7 am - 11 pm, no admission fee.

Happy birthday to the legendary Nicole Kidman!

The American actress was born in Honolulu in 1967 to Australian parents and is one of the most acclaimed actresses of her generation. After decades of mesmerizing performances that included "Moulin Rouge!" (2001), "The Hours" (2002), and "Aquaman" (2018), Kidman continues to balance mainstream success with creative projects. Her commitment to equality in the film industry is something we want to highlight at this point. Since 2017, she has actively sought collaborations with female directors which blessed us with her roles in "The Perfect Couple" (2024), "Holland" (2025), her iconic performance in "Babygirl" (2024) and many more.

Following her divorce from Keith Urban, Kidman is now embracing a new era. With her incredible fashion looks, she is turning heads at high-profile events and on social media. This contact sheet from a Helmut Newton shoot for American Vogue in 2003 is proof, that Kidman has always been a standout with a stunning confidence! We wish you all the best Nicole Kidman.

Happy Birthday to the incredible Isabella Rossellini!

Rossellini was born in Rome; she is the daughter of legendary actress Ingrid Bergman and acclaimed film director Roberto Rossellini. Raised in Italy and France, she later moved to New York, where she worked as a translator and television reporter before beginning a successful career in modeling and acting. She became an internationally recognized model in the 1980s and served for many years as the face of the cosmetics brand Lancôme. During this time, she worked with many renowned photographers, including Richard Avedon, Bruce Weber, Helmut Newton, Peter Lindbergh, Annie Leibovitz, and Robert Mapplethorpe. She made her film debut in 1976 but achieved international fame with her role as Dorothy Vallens in the acclaimed film "Blue Velvet" (1986), directed by David Lynch. Throughout her career, she appeared in numerous films, such as "Death Becomes Her" (1992), "Fearless" (1993), "Enemy" (2013), and more recently in "Conclave" (2024).

In addition to acting and modeling, Rossellini has pursued academic studies in animal behavior and created the award-winning web series "Green P***o" which explores animal reproduction through humor and education.

Today, we are celebrating Rossellini as a versatile actress and model, whose career spans more than four decades across film, television, fashion, and education. Happy Birthday, Isabella Rossellini!

We are thrilled to announce that Helmut Newton’s work is coming to Paris as part of the exhibition “Pomellato: Le joaillier révolutionnaire”!

Pomellato is presenting its first exhibition in Paris at the Palais de Tokyo. The show traces a constellation of revolutions in style, craftsmanship, color, image, and women. As the first jewelry Maison to entrust its campaigns to the great masters of photography, Pomellato opened a new dialogue between jewelry and fashion, redefining how femininity could be portrayed. The exhibition presents the work of renowned photographers who shaped Pomellato’s visual identity, including Helmut Newton, Gian Paolo Barbieri, Albert Watson, Hort P. Horst and Herb Ritts.

Each section of the exhibition is dedicated to one of Pomellato’s revolutions. The 1980s are defined by Helmut Newton’s bold black-and-white imagery: campaigns that read like visual manifestos, women as protagonists, jewelry as a declaration, and advertising transformed into art. Newton’s photography turned Pomellato jewels into symbols of contemporary desire.

The exhibition is on open from 24 June through 20 July. Admission is free with prior reservation via pomellato.com. Don’t miss your chance to see Newton’s work in his former place of residence and inspiration!

Happy Pride Month, everyone! We are thrilled to share with you this fantastic image by Helmut Newton to celebrate pride month. Going back in Newton’s work you can see he has always been inspired by androgyny and gender roles. His work frequently intersects with q***r aesthetics and his 1977 photographs at the transvestite cabaret bar Lützower Lampe, directly celebrates marginalized and gender-nonconforming communities.

Let’s celebrate how far we have come and continue the fight for equality! Please take care, be respectful, and enjoy this month.

BTW, this image is currently on view at the Newton Foundation as part of the exhibition "Rooms / Stages" and can be admired as a life-size wall paper through 15 November.

Today, we celebrate the birthdays of the late artist couple Christo and Jeanne-Claude.

Christo was born in Bulgaria in 1935 and arrived in Paris in 1957, where he met Jeanne-Claude. Born in Morocco in the same year, even on the same day, she became his wife and life partner in the creation of monumental environmental art works. Together, they became internationally known for their use of fabrics and textiles to wrap, surround and create temporary works of art. They wanted to evoke the feeling of love and tenderness that humans have for something that doesn’t last with their works, as it gives the pieces an urgency to be seen. Some of their most notable works include "Running Fence", "Surrounded Islands", and their wrapping series, particularly the "Wrapped Reichstag", shown here in this Alice Springs’ photograph with Helmut Newton posed in front of the Reichstag in Berlin in 1995.

The two never accepted any sponsors for their projects and funded everything through the sales of Christo’s early works and the preparatory studies of their monumental projects. They did that because they always wanted to have total creative freedom. On what would have been their 91st birthday, we honor the couple’s dedication to the arts and their legacy.

This month, our first “From the Archives” takes us to Lake Como in Italy, where Helmut Newton shot his “Appassionata” series for Réalités in 1975. Newton perfectly captured the glamour and luxury of the Como region, especially when working at the legendary Villa d’Este. The models and fashion in this series are set against the beautiful backdrop of Lombardy and the hotel’s baroque architecture and rich interiors.

Newton regularly worked in Como from the 1970s onwards, creating iconic images such as these, as well as iconic fashion work for Vogue Italia, featuring an Alfa Romeo Spider. Some of these images are currently on display in the beautiful garden of the historic Villa Olmo in Como, as part of the exhibition "Helmut Newton. Cars". The exhibition was initiated by , and is a close collaboration between their team and our Foundation, opening during the recent edition of . It will only run through 30 June, so don’t miss this opportunity!

We are deeply saddened by the news of David Hockney’s passing. The legendary artist was a visionary of modern art and spent decades capturing the world through bold colours.

His iconic swimming pool series made him internationally known, and as a leading figure of the Pop Art movement, he influenced a whole generation. Hockney dies at the age of 88 and leaves behind a great legacy that we want to honor with this portrait of him, shot by Helmut Newton in 1975 in Paris, by a public swimming pool. Both Helmut Newton and Alice Springs often photographed the British artist, and his portraits were exhibited at the Newton Foundation several times. He will be dearly missed.
