This work is number nine from an edition of seventy-five plus ten artist proofs.

‘Private Property’ was planned by Newton as an edition of 75 numbered sets plus 10 artist’s proofs. After the release of no more than 25 sets, including the present first artist proof set that was retained personally by Newton, he made the decision to release no further sets. Respecting this wish, the balance of the edition is now with the Helmut Newton Foundation and will not be released commercially.
