This group exhibition traces the allure of Hollywood that continues to draw many people to Los Angeles in search of work in the film industry. We glimpse both the official and private lives of stars, the villas of the rich and beautiful, film-loving fans, as well as numerous secondary motifs, such as film props in the studios. On the one hand, the exhibition looks back upon 100 years of Hollywood through these select works. At the same time, its perspective is utterly contemporary, paying homage to the slowly fading splendor of an entire era. Cinematographic storytelling is continued here with photographic means.

About
Helmut Newton Foundation
The Helmut Newton Foundation was established by Helmut Newton himself at the end of 2003. It is a Foundation registered according to swiss law in Zurich, Switzerland. The HNF is an international foundation dedicated to the promotion, preservation and presentation of the photographic works of Helmut and June Newton, who under the name of Alice Springs has also produced a significant body of portraiture photography since 1970. At its inception, Helmut Newton endowed the foundation with numerous original photographs that comprise a significant proportion of his artistic work. In October 2003, the HNF entered into a formal agreement with the Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation (Stiftung Preußischer Kulturbesitz) that allows the Helmut Newton Foundation unlimited use of the ground and first floors of the former military casino in Berlin-Charlottenburg (Landwehrkasino) for exhibition purposes. Various aspects of Newton’s multifaceted, innovative and provocative works will be presented over a series of exhibitions. The works of other artists and photographers will also be presented in dialogue with Newton’s work. The Helmut Newton Foundation not only organizes exhibitions in Berlin but also in other renowned museums and institutions abroad, in Amsterdam (Foam), Budapest (Museum of Fine Arts), Genova (Palazzo Ducale), Houston (Museum of Fine Arts), Milan (Palazzo Reale), Munich (Hypo-Kunsthalle), Paris (Grand Palais), Rome (Palazzo delle Espositioni), Stockholm (Fotografiska), Venice (Tre Oci) and Montreal (Museum of Fine Arts) among others. This will go on also in the future.
