Amazon.co.uk Review
Bringing an entirely new slant to the concept of the coffee-table book, SUMO is a suitably enormous homage to 79-year-old Helmut Newton, the master of subversive and erotic photography. "I wanted to build a monument to the most important photographer of the 20th century", commented Benedikt Taschen, the publisher behind SUMO--and that has certainly been achieved. Weighing 30 kg and measuring 50 x 70cm, and breaking any previous record in book publishing, SUMO contains 480 pages covering every aspect of Newton's outstanding career in photography. Each copy of SUMO is bound by hand and numbered and signed by the artist. In order to show this colossus off, designer Philippe Starck has created a unique device for displaying the book at home. This incredible volume contains the body of Newton's controversial yet iconographic work, documenting fashion, fetishism and, above all, an overriding obsession with voyeurism that can make the viewer feel complicit or uneasy by turns. Newton himself describes SUMO as "terrifying and outrageous. I don't even look at it as a book ... I look at it as an object." --Catherine Taylor
Book Information
A titanic book in every respect, SUMO is a tribute to the 20th century's most influential, intriguing and controversial photographer, Helmut Newton. Measuring 50 x 70 cm and weighing approximately 30 kg, the book contains 480 pages breaking any previous record. SUMO is a truly unique publication. SUMO, edited by June Newton, features a wide selection of over 400 pictures, some of which are published for the first time, covering every aspect of Newton's outstanding career in photography; from his stunning fashion photographs, which pointed the way for generations of photographers, to his most recent celebrity portraits. In defiance of the much-loved Japanese discipline which inspired the title of this colossal work, there is no need for its proud owner to wrestle with SUMO. Philippe Starck has designed a unique device for displaying the book at home. SUMO will be available to all Newton fans and photo devotees in a limited edition of 10,000 copies, all numbered and signed by the artist. As the production is highly complicated and each individual book is bound by hand; an initial print run of 2,500 copies will be available at the end of 1999, with a strictly limited quantity allocated to each country. The remaining copies will follow by April 2000.When you fix your gaze on SUMO for the first time, you will surely ask yourself, like Helmut Newton, "How is it possible? And for only ¤1,000?"
