Fragile Beauty: Photographs from the Sir Elton John and David Furnish Collection

An unparalleled selection of the world’s leading photographers, telling the story of modern and contemporary photography. Discover iconic images across subjects such as fashion, celebrity, reportage and the male body.

Showcasing over 300 rare prints from 140 photographers the exhibition will be a major presentation of twentieth and twenty-first century photography on loan from the private collection of Sir Elton John and David Furnish. Selected from their collection of over 7,000 images, the exhibited photographs (many of which will be on public display for the first time and some in the collection’s bespoke frames) are era-defining images which explore the connection between strength and vulnerability inherent in the human condition. Whilst universally compelling, the images are intensely personal for John and Furnish, as they are the photographs they live with in their home.
