Mario Testino Undressed: FO

Product Information

Including previously unseen photographs, Undressed reveals a more intimate side to the photographer’s work and in the process, he too lays himself bare. The 50 featured photographs center on the naked body, alternately exploring and pushing the traditions and boundaries between sex, gender identity, and fashion . The book “Mario Testino Undressed,” published by Taschen in English, French and German, accompanies the exhibit, which in turn runs simultaneously with Helmut Newton “Unseen” and Jean Pigozzi “Pool Party” at the Helmut Newton Foundation through Nov.

Some of the images depict individual women and men in their twenties and thirties who are often unclothed, some extensively tattooed; the natural way in which their nudity is expressed both surprises and fascinates. Para quem não o conhece ou não tem livro dele, um belo início, especialmente se comprar junto o Testino Rio de Janeiro. Consistent with his wider practice, the origins of the body of work lie in older master paintings as much as the history of photography.Honoring the influence of Helmut Newton, the images become abstracted body landscapes, the protagonists appearing as mere form, a torso, even a statue. That is why all of our trips are flightless in destination, fully carbon offset - and we have ambitious plans to be net zero in the very near future.

And the Helmut Newton Foundation is a fitting setting for the exhibition, considering the museum’s namesake’s fascination with the power and beauty of the human form – here, Testino exploring what it means to be starkers through photographs and film that blur the boundaries between eroticism, anatomy and art.And for those who want Testino’s best portraits to look back over at a later date, Taschen are releasing a book of the same title available now alongside the exhibition. In an interesting nuance, the title ‘Undressed’ also seeks to present Testino in new lights, with previously unpublished photographs from Testino’s studio on show for the first time. The Helmut Newton Foundation today unveiled largest-scale show to date - Mario Testino's "Undressed" - a photo exhibition featuring a series of images blown up to over 10 feet high.
