项目摘要
The National Portrait Gallery was founded in 1856 with the aim of promoting through the medium of portraiture the appreciation and understanding of the people who have made and are making British history and culture, and of promoting the appreciation and understanding of portraiture in all media. This specialised focus has shaped the development of the institution and its collection, and the Gallery now holds the largest collection of portraits in the world. An Independent Research Organisation (IRO), the Gallery's creative research culture has enabled the collections to be used to examine questions of identity, history, achievement, citizenship, and artistic methods and materials, working with partners across the GLAM and HEI sectors. These partnerships include people from all stages of their research careers, ranging from Professors to student groups that are invited for teaching sessions into the Gallery's research spaces and the Collaborative Doctoral Studentships that Gallery staff develop and co-supervise. Partners also regularly include creative practitioners, such as designers, developers and writers, as well as the artists with whom the Gallery works through its commissioning programme and the annual international portrait competitions. Taken together, these amplify the Gallery's impact on the UK's cultural economy far beyond the footprint of the Gallery's London site, online presence, and the National and International programme.Within the Gallery's holdings, three areas of the Collection are comparatively understudied and therefore investment in research capability would offer a particular opportunity: the Photographs collection of more than 250,000 works; the nearly 100,000 works on paper held within the Primary, Reference and Archive collections; and the more than 2,500 Miniatures. Currently these can only be examined by researchers in the shared spaces of the Painting Conservation Studio, the Framing Studio or the Public Study Room of the Library and Archive. Lack of specialised equipment and a dedicated space has meant that technical analysis and conservation have had to be outsourced to external contractors, with recent projects ranging from the analysis of negatives in order to inform decisions for their safe storage and long-term care, to the treatment of a number of Lucian Freud's sketchbooks, which the artist bequeathed to the Gallery. The costs associated with undertaking research in this way, and the complexity of moving works for analysis, have undeniably restricted the Gallery's research capacity in relation to these internationally significant collections. However, the Gallery's transformative Inspiring People project, due for completion in 2023, has instigated a step-change in relation to the display and management of these collections. More works have been integrated into the new displays, and specialised gallery spaces have been created to explore the 'Making' of Photographs, Prints, Drawings and Miniatures. At the same time, the building project has offered the opportunity to create a dedicated Conservation Laboratory for Photographs, Works on Paper and Miniatures for the first time, and to refurbish the Negative Store. It is within this context that the Gallery seeks funding to purchase analytical equipment that will optimise the Gallery's research capability in relation to these specialist collections.The purchase of FTIR, a Spectrophotometer, a Digital Binocular Microscope, a 3D Microscope and a Portable Extraction Unit would enable the Gallery to develop its in-house expertise in the materials and techniques of Photographs, Negatives, Works on Paper and Miniatures, and thereby to instigate and support new research projects. Funding from CResCa would be complemented by the Gallery's commitment to investment in staff capacity through the recruitment of specialist conservators in Works on Paper and Photography in core staff for the first time.
国家肖像画廊成立于1856年,旨在通过肖像媒介促进对已经和正在创造英国历史和文化的人的欣赏和理解,并促进所有媒体对肖像的欣赏和理解。这种专门的关注塑造了该机构及其藏品的发展,美术馆现在拥有世界上最大的肖像画收藏。作为一个独立研究组织(IRO),画廊的创造性研究文化使这些藏品能够被用来研究身份、历史、成就、公民身份、艺术方法和材料等问题,并与GLAM和HEI部门的合作伙伴合作。这些合作伙伴包括来自研究职业生涯各个阶段的人,从教授到被邀请参加画廊研究空间教学会议的学生团体,以及画廊工作人员开发和共同监督的协作博士生。合作伙伴还经常包括创意从业者,如设计师、开发人员和作家,以及画廊通过委托方案和年度国际肖像比赛与之合作的艺术家。总而言之,这些都放大了画廊对英国文化经济的影响,远远超出了画廊在伦敦的网站、在线存在以及国家和国际计划的影响。在画廊的藏品中,有三个领域的研究相对较少,因此对研究能力的投资将提供一个特殊的机会:超过250,000件作品的照片收藏;初级、参考和档案馆收藏的近100,000件纸质作品;以及超过2,500个微型模型。目前,这些只能由研究人员在绘画保护工作室、相框工作室或图书馆和档案馆的公共自习室的共享空间中进行检查。由于缺乏专门的设备和专用空间,技术分析和保护不得不外包给外部承包商,最近的项目从分析底片以便为其安全存储和长期护理提供决策依据,到处理卢西安·弗洛伊德的一些素描本,这位艺术家将其遗赠给画廊。以这种方式进行研究的相关成本,以及移动作品进行分析的复杂性,无可否认地限制了美术馆对这些具有国际意义的收藏品的研究能力。然而,画廊将于2023年完成的革命性的鼓舞人心的项目,已经促使这些藏品的展示和管理发生了阶段性的变化。更多的作品被整合到新的展示中,并创造了专门的画廊空间来探索照片、版画、素描和微型模型的制作。与此同时,该建筑项目提供了机会,为照片、纸张和微型作品首次创建一个专门的保护实验室,并翻新底片商店。在这种情况下,画廊寻求资金购买分析设备,以优化画廊与这些专业收藏品相关的研究能力。购买FTIR、分光光度计、数码双筒显微镜、3D显微镜和便携式提取装置将使画廊能够发展其在照片、底片、纸张和微型作品的材料和技术方面的内部专业知识,从而发起和支持新的研究项目。来自CResca的资金将得到画廊对工作人员能力的投资的承诺的补充,通过首次在核心员工中招聘纸张和摄影作品的专业保护人员。
