Goldin photo cropped in UK media

Nan Goldin's photograph Klara & Edda Belly-Dancing (removed from a UK gallery last week) has been published in The Sunday Times today, though the 'offensive' lower part was cropped. The image appears twice in the newspaper's News Review section, on page one and page seven. It was also included, again with the lower portion cropped, in a BBC TV news report on Thursday.

[The picture has previously been printed (also in censored form) in the tabloid News Of The World on 11th March 2001.]

There's a full-page, uncensored and uncropped, reproduction of the image in Goldin's monograph The Devil's Playground (2002), on page 115. The Thanksgiving exhibition at Baltic has now been closed, on the requests of Elton John (who owns the photos) and Nan Goldin herself.
