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.
