|This limited edition is an exciting new collaborative project between Sir Elton John, world-renowned photographer Terry O'Neill, and innovative artist David Studwell. In the lead-up to Elton John's final tour later this year, Studwell has created a re-imagining of O'Neill's 1975 iconic image captured at the Dodger Stadium. The original image showcases the extent of the 100,000 people in the audience, a venue that no artist had played since The Beatles nearly ten years before. Studwell has used diamond dust to highlight Elton's costume, making him stand out from the crowd behind. His choice of bold retro colours aim to evoke the mid 70s era, whilst demonstrating his pop culture and Pop Art influences, which can also be seen in his other works of golden age icons. Since launching the project in May 2018, all the co-signed prints, apart from this one, have been allocated.
