Mario Testino Undressed: FO

Product Information

The main focus is on the featured artists works and their craftsmanship across genres, techniques and choice of medium, ranging widely from nude photography to amazing street art.

larger-than-life images are affixed directly to the walls in three of the foundation’s exhibition halls, reaching into the corners of the room and up to the ceiling. A special highlight are previously unseen photographs shot in the Testino studio, in which an exuberant atmosphere intermingles with the implicit frisson of nudity and where playfully amorous dynamics never slip into the obscene or pornographic.

We see many intimate moments, some caught candidly, some consciously orchestrated, such as a young man shaving a woman’s upper pubic hair in a luxurious bathroom.

He had pretty kinky ideas that could well have been seen as vulgar or too pornographic, but because they were presented so stylishly in Vogue it was considered elevated work. With a four decades career as a leader in the fields of fashion, culture and lifestyle, Peruvian-born Mario Testino OBE has many facets that take him beyond the surface of a photographer and artist placing him as a cultural visionary. The 50 featured photographs center on the naked body, alternately exploring and pushing the traditions and boundaries between sex, gender identity, and fashion.

M]ario Testino’s legacy as one of the most internationally recognised fashion photographers is being immortalised, with a focus not on his profound ability to photograph clothes, but of what lies beneath.The effect is to weave a textured depiction of private scenes, marrying the emotional, physical and aesthetic in 50 visceral images.

Seeing this taught me that, whatever you do, if you do it well and elegantly it can live on its own. 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. 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. Both approached the body as a point of fascination, while also enjoying phenomenally successful careers as fashion photographers.Over the past 90 years, the family has built its fine reputation on the values of quality, style, and attention to detail. From his archive spanning nearly 45 years, 50 featured photographs of the naked body have been selected to show how nudity can be harnessed to break boundaries, illicit lust, employ irony and become an abstract landscape. Looming over 10 feet from the ceiling to the walls’ lower wood moldings, and spanning sometimes 23 feet in width, this site-specific installation conceived for the Helmut Newton Foundation offers a spectacular yet also intimate view. By blurring boundaries between fashion, eroticism and art, Mario Testino has unravelled the politics and symbolism of the body throughout his work. I’d say that could be quite useful for us as a form of therapy, but really, I think it’s safe to say we’re well beyond any medical help.
