Description
Helmut Newton (1920-2004) always showed a healthy disdain for the easy or predictable, so it is no surprise that SUMO was an irresistible project. The idea of a book the size of a private exhibition, with spectacular images reproduced to the most modern originals and printing standards, emerged from an experimental dialogue between photographer and publisher. Weighing 35.4 kg in the S UMO - boxed and shrink-wrapped - Newton created a historical book that stood head and shoulders above anything previously attempted, both in terms of conceptual extravagance and technical specifications. Now, in celebration of the 100th anniversary of Helmut Newton's birth, the publisher is back in a limited edition Baby SUMO, complete with Philippe Starck's original book stand. A rare opportunity to own a piece of art book history!
