Eamonn McCabe - Artists and Their Studios

Enjoy an exclusive exhibition from Eammon McCabe at the National Portrait Gallery this summer.

Providing us with rare insights into what are usually intensely private realms, photographer Eamonn McCabe has produced an extensive portfolio of portraits of writers' rooms and artists' studios.

For admirers of their work, these glimpses into private working lives are a revelation - an apparently erratic author's study is immaculate, sketches on the walls of artists' studios provide invaluable insight into their working practice. The portraits have been and continue to be published weekly in the Guardian Saturday Review, where they reach a wide public.

Now going one-step further, McCabe is releasing a series of portraits that locate the artists in their working environments

Revealing in the choice of works the artists choose to be photographed with, and the way the artists themselves present themselves to the camera, Artists and their studios is a remarkable collection showing our greatest artists at work.  

This wonderful exhibition is running from Monday June 16th to Sunday October 19th, the National Portrait Gallery is open daily form 10am to 6pm and to 9pm on Thursdays and Fridays.
