Elton John Ends BALTIC Show
(Condé Nast Portfolio.com, October 03, 2007)

An exhibition of photographer Nan Goldin's Thanksgiving series was cut short at the BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art in northern England. Before the show's September 21 opening, a museum employee reported one of the works, Klara and Edda Belly-Dancing, to the police, concerned that it might breach child pornography laws. In 2001, Scotland Yard ordered London's Saatchi Gallery to remove the same photo, along with two others by Goldin, on similar grounds. Pop star Elton John, who had loaned the entire 149-photo series, had the exhibit taken down well before its scheduled closing in January 2008.
