Numéro: Do you own any Guy Bourdin prints ?

Elton John: Yes, I bought twelve Bourdins at Pace McGill three years ago.(...) there are four Bourdins at Woodside (Elton's country retreat in Windsor) and eight in Atlanta. I've got the pussy melting the ice block, and the legs in the bed. His work is incredible. I'm a sucker for fashion photography; David's whole area in Atlanta is brimming with it. I started off with odd Penn and Mapplethorpe, bought a couple of Parkinsons, and then suddenly went color crazy. That's when Bourdin came into the picture.
