ISBN: 9783822863947

This is the biggest and most expensive book production in the 20th century. It is the limited edition of 10,000 copies worldwide, each signed and numbered by Helmut Newton! \”SUMO\” is a titanic book in every respect: it is a tribute to the twentieth century’s most influential, intriguing and controversial photographer. Measuring 50 X 70 cm (20 X 27.5 inches) and weighing approx. 30 kg (66 lb.), the book contains 464 pages, breaking any previous record. \”SUMO\” is a truly unique publication. \”SUMO\”, edited by June Newton, features a wide selection of over 400 pictures, most of which are published for the first time, covering every aspect of Newton’s outstanding career in photography: from his stunning fashion photographs, which pointed the way for generations of photographers, to his nudes and celebrity portraits. In defiance of the much-loved Japanese discipline that inspired the title of this colossal work, there is no need for it’s proud owner to wrestle with \”SUMO\”. Philippe Starck has designed a unique device for displaying the book at home.
While this original edition is now out of print, we have available a second hand copy which is complete with the Philippe Starck stand and is numbered (#06708) and signed by Helmut Newton.
It has some damage to the spine, a small smudge mark on the cloth back cover, a few spots on page edges and a slight crinkle in the laminate on the front of the dust jacket. However, the interior of the book is in very good condition and the Starck stand is perfect. It comes in its original polystyrene and cardboard protective packaging. Photographs can be supplied to a prospective purchaser.
