As a commissioned photographer, as a “\u003cem data-start=\"1010\" data-end=\"1024\"\u003eGun for Hire\u003c\/em\u003e,” as he defined himself, he visually conveyed his personal perspectives and obsessions, such as the idea of a strong and self-assured woman.

The idea of a book the size of a private exhibition with spectacular images printed to artistic quality standards arose from an open and creative dialogue between the photographer and the publisher. With the SUMO weighing over 35 kg, presented inside a box and sealed in shrink wrap, Newton created a milestone that stood out above any other book published before, both in terms of conceptual extravagance and technical features.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePublished in an edition of 10,000 signed and numbered copies, the SUMO sold out shortly after its release and quickly multiplied in value. Today it is part of numerous collections worldwide, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York. The legendary number one copy, signed by more than 100 of the personalities featured in the book, broke the record for the most expensive book published in the 20th century: on April 6, 2000, it was auctioned in Berlin for 620,000 German marks, around €317,000.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis XL edition now celebrates the 20th anniversary of the SUMO, the result of a project conceived by Helmut Newton years ago.
