Twenty for Today 29 May - 25 August 1986
Twenty for Today was an exhibition staged at the National Portrait Gallery to show a contemporary cross-section of work by leading and emerging photographers . The exhibition of 80 works highlighted both the increase in the acquisition of photographic portraiture by the Gallery since 1970, (when the National Photographic Record was ended) and the contemporary boom in the use of photographic portraiture in a number of fashion and lifestyle magazines that emerged in the 1980s such as i-D, Elle, Blitz and The Face. The exhibition was chosen in consultation with photographers aged under 40 and selected by the organisers to form a representative cross-section of the best of recent published and exhibited work.
