Police have seized photograph 'Klara And Edda Belly Dancing', which was taken by controversial, female American artist Nan Goldin, because it may be considered child pornography - and Elton John's personal website has reacted.
The photograph, which was part of exhibition series called 'Thanksgiving' from the Sir Elton John photographic collection, may have breached child pornography laws.
The exhibition gallery, which the picture did not appear in, as it was seized by police, warns: "We would like to advise you that this exhibition contains some material of a sensitive nature. It may include explicit language, nudity, sexual imagery or violence."
The photograph 'Klara And Edda Belly Dancing' of two young girls, taken by Goldin. One of the girls is depicted sitting on the ground with her legs spread wide apart. Further details of the picture are unknown.
Police removed the image from the Baltic Art Gallery the day before it was to be viewed by the public. The inappropriate photograph is currently being examined by police while Crown Prosecution Service lawyers have offered their consult.

Better hide those family photos before those 'pedo' authorities confiscate them. I've heard of many confiscations of such paraphenalia however I've never heard of these authorities destroying any of it. What is this material doing in their custody ...sitting around in boxes so they can peruse them later??? Secondly a photograph of 2 nude female children in the hands of a 'known' homosexual hardly renders them pornographic. I think if a homosexual can be thought of as being 'aroused' by such photographic images then he's not really a homosexual!?! Is he? Food for thought!
As the story goes they are not some random child photos they are members of her family ...read the 'real' news article ...not some random blogspot one.
