"Rue Aubriot, Paris 1975" vintage silver gelatin print by Helmut Newton.
Helmut Newton's Private Property Collection "Rue Aubriot" is an original fine art shot in 1975, featuring actress Vibeke Knudsen standing alone in a lamp-lit Parisian street. Styled in a deliberately androgynous outfit made up of Yves Saint Laurent's cult Le Smoking dinner jacket, pin-striped wide-leg formal trousers, and white tie, the photograph was to immortalize the Yves Saint Laurent aesthetic that took over the 70s.
Newton loved to shoot outdoors, and this night-time scene, using only the street lighting available, was directly drawn from the nocturnal photographs of his hero, Brassai. In an interview with New York Magazine in 1988, Newton recalled the shoot: 'Vibeke was a girl I often worked with in those days. The idea was a man-woman standing in the street at night - the street, in fact, in Paris' Marais district, where I lived for 14 years; Newton's own house can be seen in the background.
