Antony Sher
8 June – 27 June
Antony Sher’s latest oil painting is an enormous autobiographical work called ‘The Audience’. It’s a composition of 130 portraits of people who have influenced his life: iconic heroes and villains (Mandela and Hitler), great actors (Olivier, Brando), members of his family, or friends, characters he’s played (Richard III, Primo Levi, Stanley Spencer) or characters from his novels and plays. To coincide with his 60th birthday, and the new edition of his autobiography, Beside Myself, Antony Sher will exhibit ‘The Audience’ alongside other paintings and drawings. The new edition of his autobiography will be available from May at the NT bookshop.

The Press Photographer’s Year 09
4 July – 31 August
The Press Photographer’s Year is the only competition that showcases the outstanding press photography taken for and used by the UK media. This exhibition documents the world in 2009 and proves once again that even in a world of instant communication, the traditional still image burns the keenest, fastest impression on the public conscience. Returning to the NT for a fourth successive year, the Press Photographer’s Year is held in association with The British Press Photographers’ Association and sponsored by Canon cameras. The accompanying book containing all the photographs from The Press Photographer’s Year 2009 will be available from the NT bookshop.
