Helmut Newton – “Bordighera 1982” (Part I)

Helmut Newton – “Bordighera 1982” (Part I)
Limited Edition Fine Art Print from Italian Vogue, Printed on 300gsm Pro Platinum Glossy Archival Paper

Originally published in the pages of Italian Vogue, “Bordighera 1982 – Part I” is a rare, close-cropped masterstroke from Helmut Newton—the legendary provocateur of 20th-century fashion photography.

This intimate black-and-white composition is filled with Newton’s signature tension: the sensual and the severe, the composed and the chaotic, all captured with an almost forensic proximity. Skin becomes texture. Shadows become architecture. Emotion is contained—barely.

Printed on 300gsm Pro Platinum Glossy Fine Art Paper, this edition elevates the original with rich blacks, clinical clarity, and a liquid-gloss finish. Every lash, pore, and whisper of light is frozen in time—making this an essential acquisition for collectors of photographic history.
