I posted this back in 2010 and have reposted it just as a hook to write about "The Radical Eye" exhibition at Tate Modern in London that we visited at the weekend. This is a selection of b&w photos from Elton John's massive collection. It was simply stunning. There were a few documentary photos including Dorothea Lange's iconic "Migrant Mother" but most were "art" photos including lots by Man Ray and other well known names. I suppose this is my attempt to do something similar.
The exhibition is well worth a visit if you are in London and worth googling if you are not.
One question I have and would welcome any answers is in what sense does EJ "own" the photos given that the original negatives could have produced hundreds of copies?
