On Sunday, Nov 19th the art intervention can be visited for a day, from 11 am – 7 pm! Therefore the exhibition will be closed on Friday Nov 17th from 2 pm and on Saturday, Nov 18th. SUNDAY 19 NOVEMBER 2017, 11 am – 7 pm Please note: the artists will start their work in Testino’s exhibition ‚Undressed‘ on Nov 11th. This presentation form is unique to both Testino’s work as well as the exhibition history of the Helmut Newton Foundation, filling the rooms with bodies and emotions to create an imposing human landscape. The work analyses the boundaries between fashion, eroticism, anatomy and art, as well as a metaphorical undressing of Mario Testino that delves deeper into his archive and his working practice. 50 larger-than-life images are affixed directly to the walls in three of the foundation’s exhibition halls, reaching into the corners of the room and up to the ceiling. It was conceived exclusively for the Helmut Newton Foundation. Mario Testino’s “Undressed” is a site-specific installation comprising fashion and nude photos. His wish continues to be fulfilled posthumously, now with two unique projects by two of Helmut Newton’s friends and colleagues: Mario Testino and Jean Pigozzi. Upon establishing his foundation in Berlin in 2003, Helmut Newton expressed his wish to provide a forum not only for his own works, but for that of other photographers as well.
