## Exhibitions

### *Rooms / Stages*

Group exhibition · Jun 5 – Nov 15, 2026 · on view

Jana Sophia Nolle, Georges Rousse, Helmut Newton and others

Photographs in which the room, not the person, is the subject, from empty interiors to staged portraits, with Helmut Newton’s hotel and theatre pictures.

The show turns from performance to the space around it, following the 2019 Body Performance exhibition at the Helmut Newton Foundation. Each artist appears with one body of work: staged portraits that fold in their settings, long exposures in which dancers vanish, deserted interiors, and spatial interventions built for a single picture. Wall-sized murals mark parts of the galleries.

A second part presents Newton’s fashion and theatre work as stages: hotel rooms and lobbies in Paris, Milan and New York, outdoor sets in Monte Carlo, and his Pina Bausch pictures from Wuppertal, shown as murals with Polaroids in the cases.

### Helmut Newton: *Helmut Newton’s One-off Album*

Jun 5 – Nov 15, 2026 · on view

An album of 112 small original prints that Newton assembled in 1999 for a collector, shown framed side by side.

In 1999 Newton and the collector Gert Elfering chose 112 small black-and-white and color prints, mounted them on card and annotated each by hand with a title or anecdote. The sheets were never bound; they have since been framed individually so the whole album can be seen at once.

Iconic fashion pictures hang with behind-the-scenes working shots, Polaroids and advertising images, some never exhibited. Now in the Nicola Erni Collection, the album is shown in Berlin for the first time, as the third part of the museum’s summer exhibition.

### Helmut Newton: *Intermezzo: Revisiting Helmut Newton*

Apr 24, 2026 – Dec 31, 2027 · on view

A four-screen film portrait of Helmut Newton, his exhibition posters, vintage magazines and a first Spotlight display on single photographs.

A transitional presentation while the Helmut Newton Foundation reworks its permanent display on the ground floor. Eight projectors cast a looped film across four screens, combining a portrait made for a Newton show in A Coruña with unreleased material, including June Newton’s digitized personal recordings and new interviews.

Nearly 100 exhibition posters remain on view, now with posters from Alice Springs’ shows, above a display case of magazines with her editorial work. A new series, Spotlight: Behind the Frame, opens with Rue Aubriot (1975) and Alice Springs’ 1970 Gitanes advertisement, shown with contact sheets and Polaroids.
