"David Hockney, Piscine Royale, Paris 1975" 20x24 Vintage Silver Gelatin Print by Helmut Newton.

David Hockney, famous artist, captured by Newton in a chair with crossed arms and legs. A man and woman lying on the floor can be seen in the background. Other people can be seen in the background, looking down at the scene in the foreground from the top of a wall.

Helmut Newton (1920-2004) was one of the world's most celebrated photographers whose uniquely edgy imagery is coveted worldwide by collectors and aficionados of photographic art. Mr.Newton's "Private Property" exhibitions were produced by agreement in Paris, London and New York City in 1985.

This is a rare pre-1985 original vintage print produced in small numbers from a series of transparencies that Newton considered his most provocative and important work through 1985. Always unsigned, they were sent out to major publications to stimulate interest in a photographer's work. Most were destroyed or written over, it is very rare to find them in immaculate condition.

This collection of vintage prints were gifted to Newton's agent Norman Solomon, in recognition of the work he had carried out in promoting Newton's "Private Property" series of exhibitions in 1985. This fine art print comes with a Certificate of Authenticity signed by Norman Solomon. The ownership rights of this vintage print are supported by an original agreement with Newton in 1984, and supplemented by a further agreement with The Helmut Newton Estate in 2012. This print has been stored in conservation condition.
