<div>I would add to Paula's excellent blog that I have started reading Spaulding's catalogue which I bought in London as compensation for missing the opening by two days. It is full of interest even for those of us already steeped in Woolf lore and contains
a number of new images, including a haunting one of the ruins of Tavistock Square with Vanessa and Duncan's decorations exposed to the elements. </div>

the exhibit of Woolf portraits at the National Portrait Gallery in London, which opens today.</p>
<p style="direction: ltr; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; color: #444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin: 0 0 1em">
Curated by Frances Spalding, noted biographer and art historian, the exhibit includes portraits of Woolf by Vanessa Bell and Roger Fry, famous photographs by Beresford and Man Ray, and intimate images depicting Woolf with friends and family.</p>
<h4 style="margin: .4em 0 .3em; font-size: 1.4em">Media coverage</h4>
<p style="direction: ltr; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; color: #444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin: 0 0 1em">
An article in <em>The Independent, </em>"<a style="text-decoration: underline; color: #2585B2;" href="http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/books/news/feminist-writers-friendships-feel-the-fear-and-do-it-anyway-9589326.html" target="_blank">Feminist
writer’s friendships: feel the fear and do it anyway</a>," talks about the way the exhibit "will shine a spotlight on the feminist author’s relationships with other women." One example the authors cite is the "extraordinary literary collaboration" between
Woolf and Katherine Mansfield.</p>
<p style="direction: ltr; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; color: #444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin: 0 0 1em">
Another, written by Frances Spalding for <em>The Telegraph</em>, focuses on the actual photographs themselves and is titled "<a style="text-decoration: underline; color: #2585B2;" href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/art/art-features/10914210/The-last-photograph-of-Virginia-Woolf.html" target="_blank">The
last photograph of Virginia Woolf</a>," which was taken by Gisèle Freund at 37 Mecklenburgh Square in 1939. In it, Spalding fills in the background of the photo, both literally and figuratively.</p>
<p style="direction: ltr; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; color: #444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin: 0 0 1em">
On the BBC website, "<a style="text-decoration: underline; color: #2585B2;" href="http://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-28228146" target="_blank">Virginia Woolf: Her life in pictures</a>" shows and dissects a number of Woolf portraits -- from the famous
George Beresford 1902 platinum print to the 1939 family photo portrait taken by Gisèle Freund.</p>
<h4 style="margin: .4em 0 .3em; font-size: 1.4em">The exhibit, the events, the book and the competition</h4>
<p style="direction: ltr; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; color: #444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin: 0 0 1em">
Besides portraits, the exhibit features portraits and rare archival material like letters and diaries that explore her life and achievements.</p>
<p style="direction: ltr; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; color: #444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin: 0 0 1em">
A full slate of events, from lunchtime lectures to weekend workshops, are also part of the show -- and they are too numerous to detail here. But you can find them on the exhibit's
<a style="text-decoration: underline; color: #2585B2;" href="http://www.npg.org.uk/whatson/virginiawoolf/events.php" target="_blank">
events page</a>.</p>
<p style="direction: ltr; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; color: #444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin: 0 0 1em">
Those of us who aren't lucky enough to be in London between July 10 and Oct. 26 may want to get a taste of the exhibit by ordering Spalding's

<p style="direction: ltr; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; color: #444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin: 0 0 1em">
