  • Dedicated to self-portraiture the Ruth Borchard Collection is a unique body of British and Irish visual art. It now consists of the Original, Early and Next Generation Collections. Alongside the Collections the Self-Portrait Prize is a biennial art prize that offers artists, of all backgrounds, an opportunity to win the £10,000 Ruth Borchard Prize and have work acquired for the Collection. To celebrate and promote self-portraiture we work with other organisations. To discuss working with us,  loan works from the Collection, request images or for press enquiries please contact us.
