June Newton's Helmut Newton. Sumo is a monumental collection of the legendary photographer's most iconic fashion and nude photography, presented in an oversized format that matches Newton's larger-than-life vision. Through provocative images that blur the lines between fashion, erotica, and power, Newton created a visual language that defined late 20th-century photography. The collection becomes both retrospective and testament to how one photographer transformed fashion photography into high art.

WHY WE PICKED IT: Because Newton understood that fashion photography could be transgressive and that power and desire are inseparable. This monumental collection reminds us that the most influential photographers are those who refuse to play it safe, and that provocation can be a form of genius.
