Exhibitions
The Helmut Newton Foundation in Berlin hosts the permanent collection 'Private Property' as well as two Newton exhibitions each year, alongside Alice Springs and other select photographers.
The Foundation was opened in 2004, shortly after Helmut's death in Los Angeles. It was established with the Stiftung Preußischer Kulturbesitz (the Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation), a government agency responsible for state-run museums in what was formerly Prussia, and acknowledging Helmut Newton's German roots.
Please see the News section for current Newton exhibitions.

“Some people’s photography is an art. Mine is not. If they happen to be exhibited in a gallery or a museum, that’s fine. But that’s not why I do them. I’m a gun for hire.”
