- Sir Elton John introduces us to his passion for collecting and his Modernist Photography collection which he lives with, in a home tour.
Made up of over 70 artists and nearly 150 rare vintage prints on show from seminal figures including Brassai, Imogen Cunningham, André Kertész, Dorothea Lange, Tina Modotti, and Aleksandr Rodchenko, The Radical Eye collection presents an unrivalled selection of classic modernist images from the 1920s to the 1950s - a crucial moment in the history of photography.

Andre Kertesz is Hungarian , not Polish... but ... what a great collection Elton has ...! Stunning works.. one after the other ... I'd love to have seen the exhibition ! It's inspiring to see his passion and eye for it !
I went to see it today, and was really impressed by this collection. Sir Elton has great taste (yes, he's wealthy of course, but money doesn't buy style...), and I'm grateful to him for letting the public see his private collection. The photos are absolutely beautiful and inspiring. I loved all of it, because there were multiple exposures, solarised photos, silver prints, nudes, surrealists, collages, hand coloured photos... amongst the most famous Man Ray's and portraits of Dali, Satie, Breton, etc many are iconic.
Thank you very much, I recommend it!
(btw Sir Elton is the very first artist I ever saw live in the mid 1980's in Paris). It brought back many happy memories for that reason as well :)
Wow
It's always a surprise to find out new and surprising facets of someone you think you know. :-) But Tate, letting him say in the video that Kertész was Polish... I wonder what the Hungarians think about it. :-)
Thank you for sharing sir Elton John
The most relaxed and personally self-assured and totally confident in any interviews that I have ever seen of Sir Elton John - is here, and in other places where he speaks about visual art. His view is to be respected, in all events, but his passion and love for something at his own level of genius, in another medium, is just special to absorb. Thank you Tate, Sir Elton, and the artists here whose work we can admire and comprehend, not as critics, but as lovers of people, the human race, things -, everything.
Magnificent collection. Love black and white photography and the stories behind them. Thanks for sharing.
What an impressive place where photos are alive, and great collection. Art has to be visible and part of our lives, not inside armored cabinets.
Ringo and George at the wall 😭😍😍😍
They're beautiful....very relaxing and intriguing....love them. 😍
When your in love with your home, you know you have made a home. Bring in what you love because in the end it will make a happy home. Happy....you
Fascinating, and Sir Elton's thoughts are certainly from the mind of a creative genius. My late husband, Master Piano Restorer Gary Sage, was part of John Steinbeck's circle. Gary's dear friend was the one who put ships in bottles on Cannery Row in Monterey- so it was a surprise to learn that Elton read Steinbeck growing up.... loved this sharing
Beautiful!!
Very inspiring,Thank you
It's beautiful , very good taste , Elton John bring in this World so Many good THINGS . Thanks you very much
Amazing RARE collections ,
What a collection
Great collection!
MORE IS MORE !
I love him so much ❤
It's funny. It's now 2022 and Simon Baker -formerly of the Tate Modern (and, I believe, one of the curators for the "Radical Eye" exhibition of Elton John's rich, eclectic and grandiose collection) - was named, several years ago, director of the MEP (Maison European de la Photographie, in Paris). That's why it's ironic that there hasn't yet been any exhibition, under Mr. Baker, at the MEP which has really approached the quality and importance of "the Elton show". We, in Paris, would love such a show.
Wow!!!
He has some incredible work! As a commercial photographer, I can really relate to his dialogue about these photos. Thank you Elton for
promoting this art form.
Interesting!
Sir John has a wonderful collection of several black chlldren playing in a pond with huge lilypads. Their large watery eyes just penetrate your souls. Please if you know the names of these pieces let me know?
super art 111
❤❤❤
wow :)
"Insane Alan Bennett" lol.
2:05 Kertész is Hungarian-born, not Polish.

Someone save him from all that framing!
Regina Mullen right??!! Those frames were all jammed together.
wanna come up and see my etchings ?...ah John ...the day you have an original thought ?...oh, well...
Does Sir Elton give tours ...LOL !
What about his controversial photos containing children? Everyone is always so quiet about those.
Baroque.
Armoede in rijke huizen, niks nieuws onder de zon. Ik
Tiny photos!!!
Way too many images hung too close together. Screams at you instead of speaking softly as photography should do. have some space around the images Elton.
I agree
I think it looks gross
He knew that Harry wasn't Charles Biological Son Princess Diana had so many relationships during her period as a Charles Spouse
This decadence is embarrassing.
I bet if you won the lottery you would be just as decadent.
What??
He's earned every cent he has. I love all of his homes. Each one different but spectacular.
Hes been working since he was 12 playing at the pub, then with a band at 13-14, hes a workaholic. Hes earned it. Go bitch at the kardashians
