The National Portrait Gallery have asked a select team of ten prominent gay celebrities to choose their Gay Icons for an exhibition which aims to "celebrate the contribution of gay people and gay icons to history and culture". The portraits - all photographic - were chosen by a panel which included Sir Elton John and Sir Ian McKellen,
and chaired by Sandy Toksvig. The group includes an eclectic mix and,
thankfully, some less obvious choices. For example, instead of Kylie Minogue (yawn),
we have Nelson Mandela, Princess Diana and Pyotr Tchaikovsky. OK, so there are some more expected faces in there - Quentin Crisp, Lily Savage and Will Young among them - but it does push the boundaries of what a 'gay icon' is. What emerges are some surprisingly personal insights and inspiring stories. Sir Elton, for example, opted for two straight men - his longtime lyricist Bernie Taupin and the cellist, the late Rostropovich.
About National Portrait Gallery
The National Portrait Gallery houses portraits of significant figures from the late 15th century to the present day. This isn't the place to come for serious works of exceptional artistic merit - the overriding aim of the National Portrait Gallery is to reflect the status of the sitter, not the artist - but where else in London could you hope to find The Beatles, Henry VIII, Sir Richard Branson and JK Rowling all hanging out together? The appeal of this gallery (opened in 1856) rests simply in its comprehensive commemoration of British history from the late 15th century to the present day through the medium of portraiture.
