When you are going to a Helmut Newton exhibition, you expect to be surprised, shocked and challenged. Well, this is something I did not find when I went to “The Museum of Fine Arts”, where the three photographic series are exhibited, that are built on the summary works titled Helmut Newton’s “Illustrated”, “Private Property” and “Gun for Hire”.
