[vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_column_text text_lead=”yes”]Since October 9, 2020, the Helmut Newton Foundation has presented its new exhibition\u00a0America 1970s\/80s<\/em>\u00a0with works by Evelyn Hofer, Sheila Metzner, Joel Meyerowitz, and Helmut Newton.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”121830″]After taking a full-time position with the French edition of Vogue<\/em> in 1961, Helmut Newton<\/strong> worked in parallel for the fashion magazine\u2019s American edition as well. During this time, he produced images in both Europe and the USA. In the 1970s, most of Newton\u2019s American fashion and nude photographs were shot in New York, Las Vegas, Miami, and Los Angeles for various magazines. After 1980, when Helmut and June Newton began traveling regularly to California to spend the winter months at Chateau Marmont, he made numerous portraits of the \u201cfamous and infamous\u201d in and around Hollywood for magazines.<\/p>\nThe portraits taken by Joel Meyerowitz<\/strong> in Provincetown, Massachusetts, were made around the same time as the Newton images presented. Every summer, Meyerowitz retreated from New York City to the idyllic former fishing village of Provincetown. With his large-format camera he captured images of like-minded free spirits, men and women, young and old, alone or as a couple. His series is a fascinating study of a liberal, individualistic community on the American East Coast.<\/p>\nThe American photographer Sheila Metzner<\/strong> had a very close friendship with Helmut and June Newton. The delicate tones and softness of the photographs, created as Fresson prints \u2013 which evoke the bromoil prints by the avant-gardists of the 1910s \u2013 transport their content into the realm of daydreams. People also appear repeatedly in Metzner\u2019s work, be it her own five children or the female and male models who feature in her sophisticated fashion shoots or as nude, odalisque beauties.<\/p>\nFinally, June\u2019s Room presents 30 photographs taken by Evelyn Hofer<\/strong> in New York in the 1960s and \u201870s \u2013 a personal portrait of the city that includes street scenes and panoramas, interiors and portraits, in black-and-white and color. In particular, her subtle color images of everyday life in New York, printed using a dye-transfer process, are pioneering achievements of poetic magical realism in street photography, which influenced following generations of photographers.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Virtual Reality Tour of this exhibition on the dedicated page \u2192<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row unlock_row_content=”yes” row_height_percent=”0″ override_padding=”yes” h_padding=”2″ top_padding=”2″ bottom_padding=”2″ overlay_alpha=”50″ gutter_size=”0″ column_width_percent=”100″ shift_y=”0″ z_index=”0″][vc_column width=”1\/1″][vc_gallery el_id=”gallery-367805″ type=”carousel” medias=”82132,82134,82136,82138,82140,82142,82144,82146,82148,82150″ carousel_lg=”1″ carousel_md=”1″ carousel_sm=”1″ gutter_size=”2″ carousel_height=”equal” carousel_interval=”0″ carousel_navspeed=”400″ carousel_nav=”yes” carousel_nav_mobile=”yes” carousel_dots=”yes” carousel_dots_mobile=”yes” carousel_dots_inside=”yes” carousel_dot_padding=”2″ stage_padding=”0″ single_overlay_color=”color-jevc” single_overlay_opacity=”10″ single_image_anim=”no” single_padding=”2″ lbox_caption=”yes” lbox_no_tmb=”yes”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row unlock_row=”” row_height_percent=”0″ override_padding=”yes” h_padding=”1″ top_padding=”2″ bottom_padding=”2″ overlay_alpha=”50″ gutter_size=”3″ column_width_percent=”100″ shift_y=”0″ z_index=”0″][vc_column column_width_percent=”100″ gutter_size=”3″ override_padding=”yes” column_padding=”0″ overlay_alpha=”50″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ width=”1\/1″][vc_custom_heading heading_semantic=”h4″ text_size=”h4″]Selected Works[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_gallery el_id=”gallery-623016″ medias=”81524″ explode_albums=”yes” filtering=”yes” filtering_uppercase=”yes” gutter_size=”2″ screen_lg=”1000″ screen_md=”600″ screen_sm=”480″ single_overlay_color=”color-jevc” single_overlay_opacity=”12″ single_image_anim=”no” single_padding=”2″ lbox_caption=”yes” lbox_no_tmb=”yes” filter_all_text=”Alles”][vc_empty_space empty_h=”2″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/1″][vc_empty_space empty_h=”2″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"October 9, 2020 \u2013 October 10, 2021<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":81445,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"portfolio_category":[87],"class_list":["post-81453","portfolio","type-portfolio","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","portfolio_category-archive-2004-2026"],"yoast_head":"\n
