News Madmen across the water steal Atlanta's art
Posted by Andisheh Nouraee on Wed, Sep 26, 2007 at 3:13 PM
A Nan Goldin photograph owned by Buckhead singer Sir Elton John was taken from a Tyneside, England, gallery by British cops who believe the image violates British child pornography laws. The photo depicts two naked girls, one of whom is seated, with her legs apart. Goldin is known for her snapshot-style depictions of intimate, personal, and often grim scenes. The confiscated photo is from her Thanksgiving series.
Sir Elton John's photography collection is HQ'd in Buckhead, which is where Sir Elton lives because he's from Atlanta, just like Ryan Seacrest.
