We logged the number of enquiries that each artist got during our 2017 exhibtion. These are the artists that were most enquired after.
Our commissions consultants were present in the gallery and many of the artists received enquiries about portrait commissions. Over 200 portraits were displayed by nearly 150 different artists each of whom had been selected on the merit of their work, either as a Member of the Royal Society of Portrait Painters or as one of the best works selected from the open entry of some 2,000 works. See more about the exhibition and a selection of exhibited works online.
