About the Collection
Assembled since 1991, the Sir Elton John Collection is regarded as one of the finest private holdings of modernist photography in the world — vintage prints by Man Ray, Dorothea Lange, Edward Steichen, and George Platt Lynes — exhibited at Tate Modern as 'The Radical Eye' (2016–17).
Custodianship Philosophy
"Every photograph in the collection is one I could not live without."
