Photographer Helmut Newton was already in the late stages of setting up a foundation in his name in Berlin when he was killed in an auto accident earlier this year. He did not live to see the opening of the foundation. “But now more than ever it has become his memorial, and an eye-catching one at that. Where stern portraits of bewhiskered generals once presided over the foyer of the officers’ club at Jebensstrasse 2, near the Berlin Zoo station, five of Newton’s trademark ‘Big Nudes’ now proclaim his place as a pioneer of erotic fashion photography.”
