The Sage Gallery, Paris, exhibits 18 cliches by two major photographers of sensuality and erotism : Helmut Newton and Carlo Mollino. True masters of black and white, the two artists portray femininity in a strong and emancipated way.

Carlo Mollino is the ambassador of the Italy during the pre-war period while Helmut Newton has a colder touch, making his subjects looking like imposing marble statues and exalting the excess of the 1980s.

From February the 9th until April the 8th.
