At 35.4 kilos, TASCHEN and Helmut Newton created a landmark book that stood head and shoulders above anything previously attempted, both in terms of conceptual extravagance and technical specifications. Published in an edition of 10,000 signed and numbered copies, the SUMO sold out soon after publication and quickly multiplied its value. Copies now feature in numerous important collections around the world, including New York’s Museum of Modern Art, while legendary SUMO copy number one, autographed by over 100 of the book’s featured celebrities, broke the record for the most expensive book published in the 20th century, selling at auction in Berlin on April 6, 2000, for 620,000 German marks – approximately €317,000. A decade on from its first appearance, the XL SUMO brings this unprecedented publishing venture to an even wider audience with a lighter but no less glamorous format. Carefully revised by June Newton, and with its own presentation bookstand, the book remains a spectacular tribute to the 20th century’s most influential, intriguing, and controversial photographer, with hundreds of exquisite images, from his stunning fashion shoots to his shimmering nudes, provocative mise-en-scènes, and celebrity portraits. Review: A must have - This book is no let down. It is prodominantly B&W with occasional colour shots throughout the book. For me, this book is a must because this guy was a master of composition which you have got to see in print. Helmut Newton doesn't seem to follow rules, the rules seem to follow him. Work dating back to the early seventies. Every shot I'm thinking why do I want to keep looking at this. The first impression I got when seeing this giant heavy book and looking through it was, what a total bargain, the most expensive and largest book I've ever bought and no regrets, an inspiration. It comes with the perspex stand which is just as well for the weight and protecting the spline. Beautiful printing and but for a couple of the photographs, every print has its own page, not split by the centre fold. If you're a photographer, get this book, you are the church and here's your bible. Eats Albert Watson. Just throw in a couple of other recommendations - Simon Annand 'THe Half', and Lillian Bassman ' - B&W, big books, loads of prints, wonderful, bargains) Review: Beautiful book - great size images - Amazing book - fantastic quality - very big and heavy so needxa space for it ! The photographs are spectacular - and the large format really does them justice - a must for helmut Newton fans. I also bought his Autobiography as a gift for my daughter - so interesting - I have read it twice! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 1,520,685 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 3,413 in Individual Photographers 5,233 in Photography Collections & Exhibitions | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 384 Reviews | ## Images ![Helmut Newton: SUMO, Revised by June Newton - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61PQLN2X-xL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A must have *by B***T on 5 October 2011* This book is no let down.

The photographs are spectacular - and the large format really does them justice - a must for helmut Newton fans. I also bought his Autobiography as a gift for my daughter - so interesting - I have read it twice! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Glad they released a smaller version which still weighs over ... *by A***R on 6 February 2017* Went to the Helmut Newton exhibition in Paris in 2012, I wanted to buy the book but it weighed over 20kg and cost alot of money. Glad they released a smaller version which still weighs over 7.5kg. Helmut was the master at his craft and I would say revolutionary. The book has all his famous shot shots in and more. If your a Helmut fan buy this book it's worth the money and you also get a stand for it. ## Frequently Bought Together - Helmut Newton - Helmut Newton.
