Showing - Vanity Fair Portraits @ National Portrait Gallery - London

There’s something hot happening at London's National Portrait Gallery with the aptly entitled Vanity Fair Portraits. Exhibiting a supernova stable of prints from the New York magazine, this show does exactly what it says on the tin. Works cover a 95 years of talent including Baron De Meyer, Edward Steichen, Man Ray, Cecil Beaton, as well as more recent luminaries such as Annie Leibovitz, Mario Testino, Helmut Newton and Herb Ritts. As you'd expect, their subjects are equally impressive and range from Claude Monet to David Hockney, Arthur Miller and Madonna, Charlie Chaplin, Greta Garbo, Run DMC (above) and Demi Moore. It's an incredibly mix; this is history, culture, fashion, music and arts, in one sassy punch.
