I am very sorry to hear of the death of John Goto, a remarkable photographer:
I first came across his photographs of Prague – I think at the ICA – and commissioned him to document the changes at the National Portrait Gallery in the 1990s. He did this with a Russian panoramic camera which introduced a great deal of distortion, but they were, as I had hoped, much more atmospheric than most documentary photographs. Then, in 2002, we walked in to Tate Britain and found a room full of his works from his series ‘Loss of Face’ which were devoted to digital images from rood screens damaged on the orders of the Cromwellian iconoclast, William Dowsing. We bought four of them and have lived with them ever since:-

I met John Goto many years ago through Cambridge Darkroom, the leading British venue for artists using photography and “new media.” I reviewed his remarkable series on Friedl Dicker-Brandeis and the Nazi concentration camp, Terezín for “Creative Camera” in November 1988. We became friends. I greatly admired his series “Loss of Face” that you mention. He would send me information on new projects, but our living on different continents meant that we didn’t see one another, to my regret. I’m sorry to learn of his passing. His was a thoughtful, humane artist of great talent.
