The Queen: Art and Image, National Portrait Gallery, London

17 May – 21 October
To mark the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee in 2012, the National Portrait Gallery will stage an innovative touring exhibition bringing together 60 of the most remarkable and resonant images of Elizabeth II, spanning the 60 years of her reign – some on public display for the first time. From Beaton and Leibovitz to Annigoni and Warhol, The Queen: Art and Image will be the most wide-ranging exhibition of images in different media devoted to a single royal sitter. Formal painted portraits, official photographs, media pictures and powerful responses by contemporary artists will be shown alongside one another.
