Collecting photography | Personal reflections from Sir Elton John and David Furnish

[@hispid1]

Have enormous respect for Elton & David. Great images thank you.

[@domwhooley]

Really interesting collection and collectors, the passion for photography really shines through

[@kentonthatcher861]

In the late 80's and my early 20's, I was at Hamiltons gallery in London and had just spent all the money I had on a signed Avedon book, as leaving the gallery I saw these 4 beautifully printed & framed portraits of the Beatles by Avedon which just blew me away and 2B honest also changed my life. As the curious kid that I was I asked how much this set of prints was, to which to my astonishment I was told 70k but had already been bought by Elton (still not a Sir then). It was then for the first I realised not only the power of a photograph but of the respect that photography also had in the art world.

Wow! This was fantastic. Thank you so much. In this world where we fly past images the idea of walking into an exhibition and deciding to own the body of work, to retain the story, is remarkable. Imagine having that ability. To keep it as one.

They’ve both made a significant contribution to UK culture. Well down guys, and thanks.

Sir Elton John, I have been rocking to your songs from the day you first elbum came out. You are absolutely amazing , thank you for the wonderful times we have had to share your music, songs, and person. At 74 I am still an avid fan, your legend will always carry on as we hang on onto memories and shall continue to do so. With deep gratitude and admiration love and best wishes Wendy Denham South Africa. ❤❤❤

Great reflection. I just wish it was longer.

[@biddybix9154]

Wow! What a collection! And a really lovely heartwarming couple of guys Elton and David are.

[@ktmcintyre]

I absolutely love hearing Elton and David talk about their passion for photography and what drives that passion. I had the fortune of seeing Elton's exhibition several years ago called Chorus of Light at the High Museum in Atlanta. Phenomenal collection.

[@fashionthreads]

[@mynook7518]

Lovely video - thanks! Great to hear them talking with such passion about their collection. I was lucky enough to visit the exhibition at the V&A recently: really impressive, and well worth seeing.

[@lFathomEmotion]

HEY! Why did this video end? I want to hear them talk about the whole collection

[@bollox21]

This was such an interesting interview. Have my tickets for next month- looking forward!

[@jasonchambers4495]

I went yesterday to this exhibition. It was much more explicit than this interview shows.

[@alexwells6876]

Mar partner, David Furnish. Right i'm leavin'

[@lilcrazyart8306]

Sup

[@pjdexter168]

Those are photojournalistic images, not art. Powerful non the less, seeing it once is enough.

[@timwatley4793]

Most famous people have poor taste in photography and they usually only collect photos of people. The stuff in this video is like pop music of the photography world.

[@LouiseIngram-hd5yc]

I wouldn’t want to own a photo collection that included isolated and abused women , I’m afraid. I’m glad I only charge my phone outside his exhibition. I’d rather sketch statues.
