National Portrait Gallery, 24 August – 17 April 2011

A new display of previously unseen portraits by photographer Jason Bell will open at the National Portrait Gallery in August. Inspired by the 120,000 British men and women living in New York City, Bell has identified and photographed a cross-section of the leading British born figures.

The twenty portraits on display will include the Director of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Thomas P Campbell, writer Zoë Heller, artist Cecily Brown, Nicola Perry, owner of Tea and Sympathy, musician Sting, geneticist Sir Paul Nurse and historian Simon Schama.
