The Rooms of Photography, a joint initiative of Marsilio Arte and the Giorgio Cini Foundation, announce a spring full of news and events. After the exhibitions at Palazzo Reale in Milan and at the Ara Pacis in Rome, Newton arrives in Venice with the most complete exhibition of works that retrace his entire human and working life.

The HELMUT NEWTON retrospective. LEGACY, scheduled from 28 March to 24 November 2024, is curated by Matthias Harder, director of the Helmut Newton Foundation, and Denis Curti, artistic director of Le Stanze della Fotografia in Venice.

Suspended between water and sky, Newton's shots in Venice further emphasize the photographer's elegant and bold style. « His passage through the Lagoon is documented several times, as can be seen in the report for Queen magazine in 1966 or in the portrait of Anselm Kiefer, immortalized in a fascinating palace on the Grand Canal» says Matthias Harder, head of the Helmut Newton Foundation. «After having lived in Australia and the United States, Newton settled in Europe, first in Paris and then in Monte Carlo, intensifying his visits to Venice». Newton's legacy will be told in six chronological chapters : the beginnings of the 1940s and 1950s in Australia, the 1960s in France, the 1970s in the United States, the 1980s between Monte Carlo and Los Angeles and the numerous reports around the world of the nineties.
