SUMO — The Monument to Newton’s Gaze

This book, Helmut Newton: SUMO , published by Taschen in a 20th anniversary edition remains one of the most audacious acts in photobook publishing — not only in scale, but in cultural intent. First conceived in 1999 as a museum-sized monograph, SUMO was Newton’s final provocation: a retrospective of his own career printed so large it needed its own custom stand.
