Beschreibung

Large double-sided promotional advertisement for Helmut Newton's Sumo comprising the following photographs from the publication: "Sie kommen, naked, French Vogue, Paris 1981" and "Eri Ishida, Chateau Gairault, Nice 1992" on one side, and "Shoe by Tristan Webber, Italian vogue, Miami, Florida 1999" along with two smaller black and white photographs on the other. Measuring 100 x 69.5 cm overall, creased centre-fold as issued. A fine example. The following promotional text reads across two sheets (half of which on this one): "TASCHEN is proud to announce the launch of the biggest and most expensive book production in the 20th century." "Helmut Newton's SUMO is a titanic book in every respect: it is a tribute to the twentieth century's most influential, intriguing and controversial photographer. Measuring 50 x 70 cm and weighing approx. 30 kg, the book contains 480 pages, breaking any previous record. SUMO is a truly unique publication." "SUMO, edited by June Newton, features a wide selection of over 400 pictures, most of which are published for the first time, covering every aspect of Newton's outstanding career in photography: from his stunning fashion photographs, which pointed the way for generations of photographers, to his nudes and celebrity portraits." "In defiance of the much-loved Japanese discipline that inspired the title of this colossal work, there is no need for its proud owner to wrestle with SUMO. Philippe Starck has designed a unique device for displaying the book at home." "SUMO will be available to all Newton fans and photo devotees in a limited edition of 10 000 copies, all numbered and signed by the artist. As the production is highly complicated and each individual book is bound by hand, an initial print of only 500 copies will be available at the end of 1999, with a strictly limited quantity allocated to each country. The remaining copies will follow by April 2000.". Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 55389
