    A rare and intimate Polaroid from the legendary Helmut Newton, Jane Kirby, Paris, 1977 captures the artist’s signature interplay of glamour, seduction, and strength in an instantly recognizable frame. Shot in Paris, this image offers a raw glimpse into Newton’s creative process—part of his preparatory practice that often preceded his iconic editorial and fashion shoots.

    This vintage print comes with notable provenance: acquired directly from the artist, later held in a private Miami collection, and subsequently acquired through the esteemed Howard Greenberg Gallery, New York, in 2005.

    Condition Report:
    Neutral-toned print on glossy, double-weight paper with visible margins. The upper right corner and edges show emulsion loss, as does the margin, though none of these affect the image itself. Minor abrasions, scuffs, and silver mirroring—visible primarily under raking light—are typical of Newton’s Polaroid work and add to the historical authenticity of the piece. Margins show light corner bumping and undulation, again consistent with the medium.

    Framed and ready for display in a custom 28.6 × 26 cm (11 1/4 × 10 1/4 in.) frame, this work is a collectible artifact of both Newton’s process and the golden era of analog fashion photography.
