TASCHEN bag lost while walking in the street in saint Germain area, Paris… Art form or non-compliance of the environment ? It’s on debate !

In 1970, Helmut Newton‘s wife June Newton, started as a photographer under the pseudo Alice Springs. Her husband, then in bed with the flu, teached her how to handle his camera and the light-meter… so she achieved by her own an advertising for the cigarette brand Gitanes. The famous portrait that results is the starting point for her successful career. Since 2005, her  works are regularly exposed to the Helmut Newton Foundation in Berlin in the room called  June’s Room

Yesterday was the venue of famous actor Dennis Hopper at Hogan’s store, rue Faubourg Saint Honoré in Paris at the occasion of a stunning new book: Photographs 1961-1967 by Taschen. 
More than 500 pages, only 1500 numbered copies in print… Each signed by Hopper himself.
The book is a must-have for fans of ’60s Hollywood with a selection of those wonderful, evocative photographs as many of them never seen before.
