“Winnie at the Negresco, Nice 1975” 16×20 Vintage Silver Gelatin Print by Helmut Newton
Shot in Nice in 1975, this evocative Helmut Newton photograph captures Winnie leaning over the balcony of the legendary Hôtel Negresco. The nighttime scene blends sensuality, cinematic lighting, and Newton’s unmistakable French Riviera glamour.
Full Description
Shot in Nice in 1975, this striking Helmut Newton composition features Winnie on a balcony at the famed Hôtel Negresco, overlooking the illuminated Promenade des Anglais. The pose — bare, poised, and effortlessly confident — distills the provocative elegance that defined Newton’s mid-1970s Riviera work.
The contrast between the cool sea-driven city lights and Winnie’s sculptural silhouette creates a powerful tension between voyeurism and refinement. Newton’s mastery of composition is evident in the framing: the fur coat draped behind her, the strong verticals of the balcony, and the soft blur of traffic below all merge into a perfectly balanced visual narrative.
Printed on traditional silver gelatin paper, this 16×20 vintage print embodies Newton’s signature blend of sophistication, boldness, and cinematic seduction — a standout example from his iconic French period.
