About the Item
The Ant Chelsea
Anthony Paul Fawcett is a British writer, art critic, and a former personal assistant to John Lennon and Yoko Ono from 1968 until 1970.
‘If you’re a millionaire pop idol, he’s your friend. Photographer Arthur Steel and I had been granted admission to The Kingdom of The Ant, an ex-public-school boy and Oxford fine arts graduate. He’s a wildly eccentric creature, real name Anthony Fawcett, a minor genius and a master manipulator. He is immensely likeable, and has a computer-like memory, a profound knowledge of art and, a well-schooled nose for fine wines. These skills have brought him distinction as a professional companion of pop stars. His services are highly specialised – and staggeringly expensive.
All prints are hand signed limited editions, no further prints are produced once sold.

Arthur Steel
Photographer Arthur Steel's archive of iconic images is nothing short of fabulous, and counts David Walliams as a collector. His most famous photograph is arguably of Diana and Charles's kiss on the balcony on their wedding day. He was one of just a handful of photographers who were on the "royal rota" that day.
Regarded as a highly respected editor and Fleet Street photographer, Arthur photographed a vast array of celebrities over the years. In his images one can see how at ease his subjects felt in his company, such as Eric Morecambe within his study, Elton John at home with his songwriting partner Bernie Taupin, George Best surrounded by bubble bath or even the "Iron Lady" Margaret Thatcher in her bedroom applying makeup.
Today, Steel oversees and authenticates the production of his extremely rare photographic limited edition prints from negatives only recently unearthed from his personal treasured archive.
Arthur's collector base continues to grow internationally. Notably, his work is found at Gordon Ramsay's restaurant in Mayfair, London, as well as Gordon Ramsay restaurants in Kuala Lumpur and Macao.
