Helmut Newton: Sumo
and
Three Boys From Pasadena
Mark Arbeit, George Holz
and Just Loomis
Public Opening: Wednesday, June 3rd, 2009, 8pm
Exhibition from June 4th, 2009
With SUMO, the Helmut Newton Foundation presents what might just be the most
spectacular and expensive photography book project ever. Ten years ago,
publisher Benedikt Taschen persuaded Helmut Newton to agree to produce a
gigantic book with a print run of 10,000 copies, all signed by the photographer.
Accompanied by a custom-made book holder by Philippe Starck, the book found its
way into the homes of well-heeled buyers.

Now, for the first time, its 394 photographs will go on display to mark the
10th anniversary of a photography publication that today is a much sought-after
collector's item. To accompany this presentation, Taschen will publish a smaller
and revised version of the book for the regular book market.

In addition to SUMO, Mark Arbeit, George Holz and Just Loomis will be
presented at the Helmut Newton Foundation with their photography under the title
"Three boys from Pasadena". In the late 70s, they were students at the Art
Center College of Design in Pasadena, California and later became assistants of
Helmut Newton.

Following the success of "Helmut Newton: FIRED", which showcased Newton's
early fashion photography, attracting more than 45,000 visitors and garnering
much critical attention from the international press, the Foundation is pleased
to announce the launch of the new exhibition, which will be open to the public
from June 4th 2009. Alongside the show is a revised edition of the SUMO book,
published by Taschen.
