Coming from a very straightforward premise and drawn entirely from the collection of the Berman Museum of Art, 77 Portraits brings together a total of 77 works across a range of mediums and time periods, all of which feature the human face or figure. The works on display vary from a sixteenth-century oil painting to very recent photographs, demonstrating that across the ages, the urge to make pictures of people-to make portraits-endures.
The exhibition runs through September 21.
