Sex and Landscapes was conceived in 2001 as the inaugural show for the new Zurich gallery of Helmut's dealers de Pury & Luxembourg. The idea of introducing the landscapes evolved into the concept of a mix that would balance these with a selection og Helmut's tougher sex pictures. Sex and Landscapes became a fluid concept that has been expanded over time with 30 futher images to bring it to its present Sex and Landscapes that opened the Helmut Newton Foundation in the Wilhelm II Palace in Berlin together with the exhibition 'Us and Them' which was a remake of the very successful exhibition by June and Helmut Newton that was shown at different places between 1998 and 2000. The book, which was also the exhibition catalogue, contains 79 pictures.
