This exhibition showcases the deep holdings of portraits in various media within the ICA Collection, exploring how artists create images of themselves and others to communicate the emotions, politics, and beauty of representation. Portraits offer both artists and sitters a means to convey personal and lived experiences and, through this, an opportunity for viewers to reflect on themselves. This exhibition will feature recently acquired works by artists including Rania Matar, Aliza Nisenbaum, and Didier William, in addition to cornerstones of the collection by Marlene Dumas, Nan Goldin, and Alice Neel, among others.
