National Academy
This event has ended.
Highlights from the National Academy’s extensive collection of artist portraits from the early 19th century to today will be on view for the first time in the Academy’s history. Most of the more than 1,000 artists’ portraits in the collection were submitted by artist members as a condition of their membership. Taken as a whole, the works in the collection constitute one of the largest and most important holdings of portraits in the country.
