When The National Portrait Gallery opened its doors to the public in London on Thursday, it was the first time in three years it has done so. Officially re-opened by its patron, Princess Catherine of Wales, on Tuesday, the flagship gallery — which claims to house “the world’s greatest collection of portraits, spanning six centuries,” had been closed to allow for the “most extensive transformation of its building since 1896” — when it originally opened.
” Work on the piece began during the Covid-19 pandemic, through a series of workshops guided by Haworth and Blake in collaboration with colleges and community groups across the UK alongside 14 professional artists. Participants produced stenciled portraits of a woman of their choice with acrylic paints and paper which were then painstakingly collaged, arranged and re-arranged by Blake to form a single image across seven boards.
