Product Information

Coinciding with an exhibition conceived exclusively for the Helmut Newton Foundation in Berlin, this intimate series explores the notion of undressing in photography as much as it lays Testino's archive bare, probing beyond the photographer's established public image to reveal a deeper understanding of his practice and oeuvre. The viewer is almost compelled to immerse his or herself in the images, turning from “a voyeur into a participant. Especially handsome model types – and that’s precisely the subject of fashion-hall-of-famer Mario Testino’s newest exhibition – Mario Testino: Undressed, which opened at the Helmut Newton Foundation in Berlin yesterday. Jean Pigozzi, a photographer, art collector, and international businessman, was previously featured at the Helmut Newton Foundation with his portraits and selfportraits in the “Paparazzi” group exhibition in 2008.

Through 50 photographs from archives and series that have never been seen before, the book sheds new light on personalities from Kate Moss and Amber Valletta to anonymous, androgynous men.The book “Mario Testino Undressed,” published by Taschen in English, French and German, accompanies the exhibit, which in turn runs simultaneously with Helmut Newton “Unseen” and Jean Pigozzi “Pool Party” at the Helmut Newton Foundation through Nov. Released next Wednesday to coincide with an exhibition at the Helmut Newton Foundation in Berlin, this is an homage of one iconic photographer to another. These complement Newton’s well-known work and include portraits of Jeremy Irons at the Ritz Hotel in London, Michael Gross at a swimming pool in Dortmund, as well as nudes taken at an Italian wine estate and for a ballet by Jan Fabre.

And the Helmut Newton Foundation is a fitting setting for the exhibition, considering the museum’s namesake’s fascination with the power and beauty of the human form – here, Testino exploring what it means to be starkers through photographs and film that blur the boundaries between eroticism, anatomy and art.

By blurring boundaries between fashion, eroticism and art, Mario Testino has unravelled the politics and symbolism of the body throughout his work.
