Pola Woman: Helmut Newton (Signed)

Helmut Newton – Pola Woman
Signed First Edition | Schirmer Art Books | Rare & Collectible

Pola Woman is a bold and intimate monograph by legendary fashion and erotic photographer Helmut Newton, published in 1992 by Scalo. This rare signed first edition offers a behind-the-scenes look into Newton’s creative process through a carefully curated selection of Polaroids—raw, immediate, and unretouched.

Shot in preparation for his iconic editorials and personal work, the images in Pola Woman are strikingly candid. They showcase Newton’s unmistakable eye for composition, attitude, and sensuality—featuring his muses in moments that blend vulnerability with power. The book reveals how Newton used Polaroids as visual sketches, capturing lighting, mood, and structure before executing his final shots.

This signed copy, bearing Newton’s signature on the title page, is highly desirable and increasingly scarce—especially in collectible condition.
