'Simonetta and Renée, Grand Hotel de Milan' Editorial Proof by Helmut Newton
Dated 9 January 1998 A.D.Estimate: £200 - 300 (+bp*)
Opening Bid: £5
Framed with a white card reveal, monochrome image of a young woman smoking a cigarette wearing an eye-mask; with collector's slip stating (inter alia) 'Archive Date: 9/01/98' and 'Historical Significance: Shot in late 1997 by the 'King of Kink', this photograph epitomises Newton's lifelong obsession with old-world European grand hotels as cinematic backdrops for high-society mystery and female empowerment. Because the Madrid proof is dated January 1998, it represents a highly coveted "contemporary press proof" - printed and evaluated in real-time immediately following the image's original media debut.' 174 grams, 35.5 x 28 cm including frame
