The Jewish Museum of Australia’s exhibition showcases the photographs which made Newton, often dubbed the 'king of king', one of the most famous image makers of the 20th Century. The exhibition tells the story not only of his art, but of his extraordinary life, fleeing Nazi Germany, working across Europe and America, and being incarcerated in rural Victoria as an enemy alien. With works from private lenders, the Helmut Newton Foundation, the Powerhouse Museum and RMIT Design Archives, this exhibition is a feat of collaboration which tells a moving visual story. When? Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Sunday, 10am - 5pm Where? Jewish Museum of Australia, St Kilda Tickets? $0-$34, here
