ARTHUR STEEL
ARTIST BIO
British photographer Arthur Steel’s archive of images is iconic and highly collectible having photographed a vast array of celebrities over his long career, such as Eric Morecambe in his study, Elton John at home with his Bernie Taupin, George Best surrounded by bubble bath and even the Iron Lady Margaret Thatcher in her bedroom applying make-up. His most famous photo was ‘The Kiss’ taken on King Charles wedding to Princess Diana. He counts David Walliams as a collector and his work has featured in hotels and restaurants both in London and internationally.
Now in his eighties, still enjoying retirement, he oversees and authenticates the production of his extremely rare photographic prints from negatives only recently unearthed from his personal treasured archive.
