Sometime ago I mentioned a BBC TV programme about Jonathan Yeo on Thursday I was in town to join a farewell drink for a departing colleague and decided to kill two birds with one stone by visiting The National Portrait Gallery to give it a second chance!Seeing the contemporary portraiture of Jonathan Yeo made this visit a real pleasure and I recognise that I'd not given the gallery a fair viewing.
Thursday is a later opening at the Gallery and the delight of this visit was heightened by the fact that there was a much less frenetic feel than during the day I had been previously (and fewer visitors too).
My favourite by Yeo was the Helena Bonham-Carter but they're all great.
The 20th Century political and social portraits along with several Warhols (including Joan Collins) on the first floor were great too.
