LONDON.- From 29 November 2024, the National Portrait Gallery will present LEGENDS by Zoë Law, a new display that celebrates over one hundred individuals who have influenced the photographers life and career. Selected and captured by the British contemporary photographer, the portraits displayed represent figures from the worlds of art, fashion, business and entertainment, described by Law as legends
people who embody passion, dedication and resilience. From World Cup winning footballer, Sir Bobby Charlton, to the Co-Founder of UK Black Pride, Lady Phyll, the portraits will be exhibited across the National Portrait Gallerys Studio Gallery and Spotlight Space until 2 March 2025.
All captured in the photographers preferred black and white style, which she uses exclusively in her practice, LEGENDS by Zoë Law will include a new and never-before-seen photograph of the Canadian actress, Kim Cattrall, and a portrait of the singer and songwriter, Noel Gallagher, which will be exhibited for the first time since it was acquired by the Gallery earlier this year.
I am thrilled and honoured to have my portrait added to the National Portrait Gallerys permanent Collection. The thought of the portrait of a grumpy middle-aged man who frankly hates having his picture taken being permanently displayed for future generations to marvel at is very special. Thanks and praise. --Noel Gallagher, Singer and songwriter
It is the greatest honour that my portrait of the Legend, Noel Gallagher, has been acquired by the National Portrait Gallery. A lasting legacy that all portrait photographers and artists dream of. --Zoë Law, Photographer
We are absolutely delighted to have recently acquired Zoë Laws portrait of Noel Gallagher for the National Portrait Gallerys Photographs Collection. I am really looking forward to seeing more of her Legends exhibited across our Studio Gallery and Spotlight Space in what promises to be an exciting and innovative display. I hope that these striking monochromatic portraits which celebrate the diversity of British cultural life help inspire the next generation of photographers and visitors to the National Portrait Gallery. --Sabina Jaskot-Gill, Senior Curator of Photographs, National Portrait Gallery
Zoë Laws portraits will also inform a new learning programme at the Gallery to inspire the next generation of young photographers. The three-year programme for state-funded Secondary schools will engage students with the Gallerys Collection and the LEGENDS series to explore practices, tools and techniques used by portrait photographers and develop students' creative and photographic skills.
