Not sure if the photo above is the "art porn" in question (and what exactly is "art porn?"), but here's the ridiculousness from today's Telegraph:Seized 'art porn' owned by Sir Elton JohnCorrect me if I'm wrong, but I believe this same body of work was shown at White Cube in 2000.
A photograph by a controversial American artist which is part of Sir Elton John's private collection has been seized by police from a gallery on suspicion it may have breached child pornography laws.
The image, which featured two young girls one of whom was sitting down with her legs wide apart, was taken by the renowned photographer Nan Goldin.
The shot, from the artist's Thanksgiving series, was to be exhibited at the Baltic Modern Art gallery, Tyneside, this week along with some of her other work. But the day before it was due to be viewed by the public, police came and removed the image over fears that it might be breaking the law.
UPDATE: The image above is not the seized image. I repeat, it's not the Nan Goldin photograph seized by police. See my later post for correct image.
