ELTON JOHN & GIANNI VERSACE

Today Elton John is a big fan and collector of contemporary art. He once confessed that it was first the late fashion designer Gianni Versace who introduced him to the world of art by taking him to churches , galleries and museums. Meanwhile Versace was influenced very much by Warhol during his career. And that both in his work and attitude. All about audacity, boldness and a sense of drama. Maybe that' why André Leon Talley once said that wearing Versace was at once «totally Wagnerian and Andy Warholian»
