Sir Elton – whose Elton John AIDS Foundation has been helping fight the worldwide battle against HIV and provided comfort for those suffering from the disease for 20 years now – is, again, selling off some of his vast art collection in the name of his favorite cause. The second EJAF Photography Portfolio, featuring signed and numbered prints by such renowned artists as David LaChapelle, Ed Ruscha, Alex Prager, Tina Barney, Candida Höfer, Hedi Slimane, and others – will be on view at the Marian Goodman Gallery starting February 1.
