Dr. Robert Travers, Director: 'To host the Self-Portrait Prize exhibition in such a prominent cultural venue will allow everyone a chance to see some of the most inspiring and thought provoking works by contemporary artists. Demonstrating the enduring influence of Ruth Borchard on the practice of self-portraiture, the exhibition marks an exciting time in the history of the Collection and Prize.'
