The Percivals 2014

Exhibition dates: 9 May to 13 July 2014

Consistently evolving, The Percivals has now become one of the nation's richest portrait prizes. To meet this billing, the exhibition has further evolved in a number of significant ways in 2014; among them the pre-selection of works by a panel of industry figures, and the production of this beautiful catalogue of selected works.
