Glittery Celebrity Glam and Eye Candy

Jean Pigozzi/Helmut Newton Foundation. A photograph of Carla Bruni and
Jean Pigozzi in Venice in 1991from the exhibition "Pigozzi and the Paparazzi"
at the Helmut Newton Foundation in Berlin.

I asked an artist friend who had been to the Helmut Newton Museum in Berlin to comment on the following NYT article, describing the photo exhibit. She said the article was “deliciously rich”, adding: “It certainly delves into the psyches of American and Europeans (each country has its own distinct persona) + some fine takes on the paparazzi, celebrity protocol, fan expectation and wish fulfillment, status + responsibilities of roles + reinventions + detachment + creativity AND luxury.”
