Through their inimitable mixture of eroticism, subdued elegance and decadent luxury, Newton's pictures reflect in the highest aesthetic quality an obsession with human vanity - from female exhibitionism to male voyeurism. With technical perfection, an extremely detailed style and a relentless directness, Newton staged the never-ending psychodrama that contrasts glamour with the need for admiration, self-confidence with the desire for self-presentation. Private Property was originally a three-part portfolio containing 45 black-and-white photographs. It includes Newton's best work from the 1972 - 1983 period - an exquisite assortment of fashion shots, portraits, and erotic motifs which are all based on real locations and luxurious life styles.
