Berlin, Berlin20 years of the Helmut Newton Foundation
June 7, 2024 – February 16, 2025
The Helmut Newton Foundation celebrates its 20th anniversary in June 2024 with the group show Berlin, Berlin – and simultaneously pays tribute to the city where Newton was born. In the fall of 2003, Helmut Newton established his foundation in Berlin to house parts of his archive, which opened to the public in June 2004 at the historic Landwehrkasino next to Zoologischer Garten station. Since then, the Helmut Newton Foundation and the Berlin Art Library have jointly resided in the historic building now known as the Museum of Photography. After the death of June Newton (also known as Alice Springs) in April 2021, the entire collection of works by Helmut Newton and Alice Springs, along with all archival materials, have been housed in the foundation’s archive.
Berlin, Berlin. Part 3
Aino Kannisto & Karen StukeHotel Bogota
November 15, 2024 – Februar 16, 2025
Schlüterstrasse 45 in Berlin-Charlottenburg. The legendary Berlin photographer Yva had her photo studio there 100 years ago, Helmut Newton was her apprentice there between 1936 and 1938; it later became the Hotel Bogota. This almost mythical place also became a place of longing and photography for later photographers. These include Aino Kannisto and Karen Stuke, who created two very individual self-portrait series there shortly before the hotel closed in 2012 and 2013. The connection between this presentation in the Helmut Newton Foundation’s project room and the main exhibition Berlin, Berlin on the first floor closes a circle in several ways: the vintage prints and Newton’s self-portraits, which were also created in the hotel, are displayed here.
