Sacrificing the Hasselblads
Along with the Moon rocks, some of the most precious cargo the astronauts returned from the lunar surface were the camera backs removed from their Hasselblad 70-mm cameras. Inside were some of the most famous and profound images ever recorded in history, each image giving photographic testimony to mankind's first exploration of another world.
To save weight and space for their return trip off the Moon, the astronauts discarded their Hasselblad cameras on the lunar surface, returning to Earth with only the camera backs. During the Apollo Program, these film canisters returned nearly 25,000 priceless photographic images, many of which have been forever etched in our collective memory
DISPLAYED HERE are actual Hasselblad film backs returned from each Apollo mission. These special canisters were built by Hasselblad specifically for NASA and each unit contained enough film for 200 exposures. Displayed with each canister are actual photographic images returned to Earth from these specific camera backs.
I masked the area around the forward-looking windows knowing I'd have to touch up the paint later. When I kicked up the contrast to show the difference between white plastic and white paint, I also made some of the dust fibers visible. I had a lot of trouble with those.!

This graphite study shows an arm in the stretched position of the first version of Apollo. But the movement to the back was the point of transition to the final version.1989-91.
Head of a young male worshipper or deity (‘the Chatsworth Apollo’), 460–450 BC
Sanctuary of Apollo–Reshef, Tamassos, Cyprus
Bronze
[One of two heads] found in Cyprus, one of the territories where Greek and Persian influences blended alongside Phoenician and other local cultures. The stone head has a Persian-style beard and ringlets but it also wears a Greek-style wreath.
The bronze head is probably the Greek god Apollo, but could also be the deity Reshef, who was worshipped in Cyprus with the same imagery.*
From the exhibition
Luxury and power: Persia to Greece
(May 2023 – Aug 2023)
Between 490 and 479 BC, the Persian empire tried, and failed, to conquer mainland Greece. Many Greeks explained their victory as a triumph of plain living over a ‘barbarian’ enemy weakened by luxury. Ancient objects reveal a different story. The Persian court used luxury as an expression of prestige and power, with a distinctive style that was imitated and adapted across cultural borders, even influencing democratic Athens and, later, the world of Alexander the Great.
'Treasure there was in plenty – tents full of gold and silver furniture… bowls, goblets, and cups, all made of gold'
When Greek soldiers captured the royal command tent of the Persian king during the Greco-Persian Wars (499–449 BC), they were confronted suddenly and spectacularly by luxury on an unimaginable scale. To many ancient Greek writers, the victories of the small Greek forces against the mighty Persians were a triumph of discipline and restraint over an empire weakened by decadence and excess.
Drawing on dazzling objects from Afghanistan to Greece, this exhibition moved beyond the ancient Greek spin to explore a more complex story about luxury as a political tool in the Middle East and southeast Europe from 550–30 BC. It explored how the royal Achaemenid court of Persia used precious objects as markers of authority, defining a style of luxury that resonated across the empire from Egypt to India. It considered how eastern luxuries were received in early democratic Athens, self-styled as Persia's arch-enemy, and how they were adapted in innovative ways to make them socially and politically acceptable. Finally, it explored how Alexander the Great swept aside the Persian empire to usher in a new Hellenistic age in which eastern and western styles of luxury were fused as part of an increasingly interconnected world.
The exhibition brought together exquisitely crafted objects in gold, silver and glass, and featured star loans including the extraordinary Panagyurishte Treasure from Bulgaria. Whether coveted as objects of prestige or disparaged as signs of decadence, the beauty of these Persian, Greek and Hellenistic luxuries shaped the political landscape of Europe and Asia in the first millennium BC – and their legacy persists in our attitudes to luxury today.
