The crowning glory of this period was the successful campaign to acquire the entrancing Self-portrait by Sir Anthony Van Dyck, with the support of the Heritage Lottery Fund and the special help of the Art Fund, the Portrait Fund, several trusts and nearly 10,000 individual donors. Over the past two years there has been great success with exhibitions, whether photographic like Bailey’s Stardust, or historical like Elizabeth I & Her People, and also the BP Portrait Award and the Taylor Wessing Photographic Portrait Prize. Our learning, outreach and digital work has developed in exciting ways, such as the Creative Connections project, and the UK-wide National Memory – Local Stories, exploring the First World War. New projects also included the wonderful Portrait Choir. The Collection and associated research, supported by the Portrait Gala and the Catalyst scheme, are at the Gallery’s heart. Fine acquisitions included several new commissions, such as the portraits of HRH The Duchess of Cambridge, Tony Blair and Simon Weston OBE, commissioned with the BBC. We also focused on developing a strategic forward plan, and commenced working with the newly formed Portrait Trust, created to support portraiture as well as the Gallery’s work. We are very pleased to welcome Dr Brian Allen, Dr Andrew Roberts and Stephan Shakespeare as new Trustees, while being grateful to our ex-officio Trustees, and wanting to thank our retiring Trustees, Sir Nicholas Blake, Zeinab Badawi, the Marchioness of Douro, and especially Professor Sir David Cannadine, as Trustee and an outstanding Chairman. Many thanks are due to those who support the Gallery’s work so actively: Trustees, the Development Council, benefactors, donors, the Portrait Circle, Patrons, Members, corporate partners, trusts, foundations and many volunteers. I am very grateful for the creative contribution of all my colleagues, whose hard work makes the Gallery’s success possible.

During 2012/13 and 2013/14 the Gallery continued to encourage new audiences through communications, the public programme, outreach and increased access to the Collection via partnerships across the UK.

The Gallery attracted 2.05 million visits in 2012/13, the best annual visitor figure in the Gallery’s history, and just under 2 million visits in 2013/14. Some of this success was due to Lucian Freud Portraits, which was the most popular paid-for exhibition the Gallery has staged, attracting 246,000 visitors. Summer 2012 saw the culmination of the National Portrait Gallery/BT Road to 2012 project, which was viewed by 340,000 visitors in London, and The Queen: Art and Image was seen by over 240,000 people on its national tour.

Research results indicated that the Gallery continued to attract new and diverse audiences: in 2012/13 11% of UK visitors were from Black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) groups and in 2013/14 18% were students or from lower socio-economic groups. In 2012/13 the Gallery also saw an increase in visitors from overseas, who accounted for 45% of visits during the period. Enjoyment and satisfaction levels remained high: in 2013/14 98% rated their visit ‘good’ or ‘excellent’ and 95% said that they would be likely to recommend a visit.

Communications The promotion of Lucian Freud Portraits was launched with a major advertising campaign for advanced booking, a first for the Gallery, which was a great success; 30,000 tickets were sold pre-opening. The Late Shift visual identity won an award in the ‘Best Branding’ category of the International Design Communication Awards 2012, and the ongoing campaign included a new Late Shift film. Elizabeth I & Her People was promoted by an innovative web-based game, ‘Who do you think you were?’, which was played by over 22,000 people.

Press campaigns resulted in widespread media coverage, including the unveiling of Paul Emsley’s portrait of HRH The Duchess of Cambridge, which dominated international news in January 2013. The Gallery was involved in major broadcast

collaborations, including The One Show People’s Portrait: viewers voted for a sitter to join the Collection, and the resulting portrait of Falklands War veteran Simon Weston OBE was the subject of a BBC One documentary. The Gallery also worked with Sky Arts on their Portrait Artist of the Year competition, and the shortlisted works were displayed at the Gallery in December 2013.

Late Shift Every Thursday and Friday evening throughout 2012/13 and 2013/14, the established Late Shift programme, supported by FTI Consulting, built and sustained new and diverse audiences. Late Shift Extras attracted on average 2,500 people and included collaborations with contemporary artists Stuart Pearson Wright, for Back to the Drawing Board, and Chris Levine, for a night inspired by Man Ray Portraits.

Friday Evening MusicThis weekly programme of music continued to attract many regular attendees and new audiences. Highlights in 2013 included Lady Maisery’s preview of Emily Hall’s new song cycle of secular mourning, ‘Rest’, and the Amphion Consort’s musical response to Elizabeth I & Her People, ‘Heavenly Noyse’. Violinist Tamsin Waley-Cohen performed the complete works for solo violin by J.S. Bach in three concerts in 2014.

The Portrait ChoirThis new venture was launched in June 2013 under the guidance of Gregory Batsleer, Artistic Director, with a group of twenty-two singers who had recently completed their studies at some of Britain’s most prestigious music conservatoires. The first year included an ambitious programme of weekend residencies, public singing days and a special commission, ‘Anonymity’, which included excerpts from Handel’s ‘War Oratorios’ and readings from First World War literature. A Gallery Staff Choir was also formed. The Portrait Choir is generously supported by Hani Farsi and the Mohamed S. Farsi Foundation.

Interpretation The audio guides for Lucian Freud Portraits (2012) and Bailey’s Stardust (2014) were offered for hire on-site and for download through the App. Store and Google Play, making in-depth interpretation available to the widest possible audience. The Gallery’s audio guide was made accessible to deaf visitors with a free app., adding subtitles and British Sign Language. A new style of Gallery interpretation was developed for the refurbished Rooms 3, 4 and 11. Following an encouraging evaluation study, this interpretation pilot will inform future re-display projects.

Families Children’s book illustrators Salvatore Rubbino and Anya Hymas created new characters for the BP Portrait Award in 2012 and 2013 respectively, as the family labels and trail became part of the Gallery’s increasingly family-focused offer. Family provision was extended year-round with three new free self-directed tours, ‘Explore’, ‘Sketch’ and ‘Look’. The Family Activity Base (the FAB) was created to inspire family visits at weekends and in school holidays, with the support of various staff members and supporters who took part in the 2013 London Marathon.

Young People The Gallery’s Youth Forum remained active, hosting the monthly public drop-in drawing session Pick Up a Pencil. Forum members visited the studios of artists Humphrey Ocean and Jonathan Yeo, and footage of their interviews with the artists was posted on the Youth Forum’s Facebook page. The Domino Effect NEET (Not in Education, Employment or Training) project, funded by the Dorset Foundation, delivered artist-led photography courses to young people in Westminster and Southwark. BP Portrait Award: Next Generation 2012 and 2013 engaged 708 fourteen- to nineteen-year-olds on-site and at three regional venues, with an additional 613,421 visitors viewing the Gallery display and 154,000 people accessing content online.

Schools and Colleges More than 75,000 individual children and young people participated on-site, with a further 1,000 off-site. World Book Day events, with writers and illustrators Judith Kerr and Lauren Child, involved 250 pupils from local primary schools. Secondary Art audiences participated in Meet the Artist events, and an expanding programme of study days and CPD (Continuous Professional Development). Exhibition-linked programmes included photographer-led workshops for Man Ray Portraits, and a Secondary History and Art programme for George Catlin: American Indian Portraits. The Learning Department worked with peers at the Imperial War Museum to share skills and deliver joint Study Days on ‘Art and Portraiture’. This started with The Great War in Portraits exhibition, and will continue throughout 2014–2018.

Access and Outreach The Gallery’s long-term partnership with Hospital Schools in London involved young people exploring inspirational figures in the Collection through practical art workshops, and the My Superheroes project resulted in an illustrated activity book for young people. At the Gallery, Creative Spaces (in partnership with Shape and Westminster Society for People with Learning Disabilities) supported artists with learning disabilities to explore portraiture in practice, and The Drawing Room (a new monthly programme for disabled visitors) supported practical drawing in the galleries. In collaboration with Kids Company, the Taylor Wessing Photographic Portrait Prize community project developed young people’s skills and confidence.

Adult Programmes Academic conferences focusing on The Lost Prince: The Life and Death of Henry Stuart and George Catlin exhibitions brought together international scholars; regular daytime lectures and talks continued to reach a variety of audiences, and a group tours offer for adult visitors (supported by a strong marketing campaign) reached fifty groups in the first year. The income-generating programme continued to expand, with new exhibition lectures for groups, and monthly weekend photography and painting workshops led by established practitioners.

Participation Projects Creative Connections, generously supported by the Palley family, started with artist Lucy Steggals and GCSE students from St Paul’s Way Trust School in Tower Hamlets creating and displaying new work inspired by local stories of achievement with portraits from the Collection at the Gallery. The second year involved film-maker Eelyn Lee and students from Brentside High School in Ealing developing a perspective from west London. An interpretation project working with students and academics from the University of Birmingham around George Catlin resulted in online digital films and exhibition talks. The National Portrait Gallery/BT Road to 2012 project gained extra momentum in the final year, with students from the University of East London engaging with all the commissioned project photographers on a ten-week photography course, which resulted in an exhibition of new work in east London. The Gallery’s work with local sports and community groups continued in the host-boroughs with an oral storytelling project.

Partnerships National Memory – Local Stories (funded by the Paul Hamlyn Foundation and delivered in partnership with Media 19 and five museums in Belfast, Cardiff, Edinburgh, Salisbury and Redbridge) engaged artists and young people with museum collections to reveal local perspectives on the First World War, and led to the creation of imaginative artistic responses.

Making a Mark, part of the Department for Education’s Museums and Schools Programme, saw the Gallery work with six museum partners in the Tees Valley to explore local heritage through portraits, to create learning programmes for schools and to facilitate Collection loans to partner organisations.

National Programme Exciting collaborations resulted in exhibitions and displays of the Collection in venues around the country. The four-venue partnership tour of the portrait of Ayuba Suleiman Diallo to the International Slavery Museum, Liverpool, the South Shields Museum and Art Gallery, New Walk Gallery, Leicester, and then back to the National Portrait Gallery, saw the poet Ben Okri responding to the portrait with community groups in each location. The painting and tour provided inspiration for his new poem, ‘A Dialogue Across Time’, which was displayed at the Gallery with the portrait.

The National Portrait Gallery/BT Road to 2012 project included the Gallery’s first outdoor touring exhibition of a selection of commissioned photographs of those who played a part in the London Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Partnerships also flourished between the Gallery and other museums, including Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums, Bristol Museums, Galleries & Archives, and the Barber Institute, Birmingham. The Subject Specialist Network Understanding British Portraits, led by the Gallery, held a range of seminars and events with the aim of enhancing the knowledge and understanding of portraits in UK collections. Long-standing partnerships with the National Trust at Montacute House in Somerset and Beningbrough Hall in Yorkshire resulted in new collaborative displays opening in 2014, with Pictured and Seen at Montacute, and Royals: Then and Now at Beningbrough, the latter seeing contemporary portraits hung alongside eighteenth-century portraits from the Gallery’s Collection. The Gallery’s active loans programme lent to 184 venues in the UK in the years 2012–14, and to forty-seven venues overseas, including exhibitions in the USA, France, Germany, Italy, The Netherlands, Austria, Brazil, Qatar and Russia.

AcquisitionsThe acquisition of the important 1640–1641 Self-portrait by Van Dyck with the Save Van Dyck campaign in 2013/14 was a major triumph. Other highlights among the Gallery’s acquisitions of historic portraiture included the remarkable and previously unknown cabinet miniature Elizabeth I and the Three Goddesses, attributed to Isaac Oliver, c.1590, and an important portrait of the collector Lady Anne Clifford, Countess of Dorset, by William Larkin, 1618. The Gallery also acquired an intriguing portrait of the diplomat and transvestite Chevalier d’Eon by Thomas Stewart, 1792, and a portrait of the adventurer and businesswoman Mary English by William Armfield Hobday, 1818, as a generous gift.

Among the many twentieth-century acquisitions were several portraits of female artists and actresses, including Angelica Garnett by Matthew Smith, 1957, a powerful plaster sculpture of the actress Margaret Rawlings (Lady Barlow) by Frank Owen Dobson, 1936, and an engaging portrait of the actress Dame Edith Evans by Henry Glintenkamp, 1922. To develop our contemporary collections, several outstanding portraits were acquired, including a lenticular print of Queen Elizabeth II by Chris Levine, 2007.

The Gallery was also successful in acquiring several important vintage photographs, including the illustrator Aubrey Beardsley by Frederick Hollyer, 1893, and the poet Rupert Brooke by Sherrill Schell, 1913. A particular highlight included the gift of nearly 200 portraits from the archive of Lord Snowdon, featuring many important sitters from the mid-twentieth century. We also purchased portraits of numerous British Olympians, including Nicola Adams, Jessica Ennis, Mo Farah, Sir Chris Hoy and David Weir by Kate Peters, 2012.

The Gallery secured some outstanding long-term loans for display alongside the permanent collections, including a painting of the black actor Ira Aldridge, c.1826, a portrait of Arthur Wellesley, Duke of Wellington, by Sir Thomas Lawrence, 1829, and a compelling early portrait of Sir Winston Churchill by Sir William Orpen, 1916.

Commissions Three BP Portrait Award commissions were completed: the Olympic athlete Dame Kelly Holmes was painted by Craig Wylie; the former Children’s Laureate Julia Donaldson by Peter Monkman and Ken Livingstone, former Mayor of London, by Andrew Tift. Supported by the J.P. Morgan Fund for New Commissions, Chris Levine created a lenticular portrait of human rights lawyer Helena Kennedy, Baroness Kennedy of the Shaws. Paul Emsley made a portrait of the Gallery’s Patron, HRH The Duchess of Cambridge, while Sheldon Hutchinson made a drawing of the former Chairman of Trustees, the historian Professor Sir David Cannadine. The former Prime Minister Tony Blair was painted by Alastair Adams, and Baroness Betty Boothroyd, former speaker of the House of Commons, by Brendan Kelly. Saied Dai painted the former director of the Royal Ballet, Dame Monica Mason, and James Lloyd painted Dame Maggie Smith. Nicky Philipps’ portrayal of the Falklands veteran Simon Weston OBE was made as part of The One Show People’s Portrait project, a unique Gallery collaboration with the BBC.

The Photographs Collection Over 2,000 acquisitions included the National Portrait Gallery/BT Road to 2012 project commissions; gifts from the estate of Sam Haskins; prints by James Dinham given by Gordon Higham; Walter Bird portraits given by Peter Hunt, and a Bob Carlos Clarke portfolio given by his estate, as well as the Snowdon gift. Display-related donations included Bloomsbury Group prints given by Peter Stansky; a portfolio of works by the photo-journalist Michael Peto (from the University of Dundee), and photographs of Marilyn Monroe and Vivien Leigh by Larry Burrows (given by Barbara Baker Burrows and Russell Burrows). Terence Pepper continued to donate rare photographs, adding over 1,000 items to the Collection. Commissions resulting from the Taylor Wessing Photographic Portrait Prize included Matthew Niederhauser’s portrait of Andrea Riseborough (through the John Kobal New Work Award) and Ivor Prickett’s portrait of Bear Grylls (through the Godfrey Argent Award). Two portraits by Mario Testino of Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, and the engagement portrait of The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, were generously presented as a gift by the photographer.

The Heinz Archive and Library A number of significant gifts were received by the Heinz Archive and Library, including portrait drawings of leading French chefs in the 1930s by Florence Enid Stoddard, given by Christine Hayes; a lithograph of Keir Hardie by Cosmo Rowe after George Charles Beresford, donated by Norman Atkinson, and a pencil drawing of Margaret Rawlings (Lady Barlow) by Frank Dobson, given by the artist’s family. The family of Ambrose McEvoy donated two albums containing photographs of his work, while BBC Information and Archives presented a substantial gift of 220 items which filled significant gaps in the Gallery’s holdings.

Collections Care and Collections Management Major conservation projects included work on portraits of Edward VI, Mary English, Derek Boshier, the Naval Officers of World War I, Lady Anne Clifford, Walter Ralegh, and Elizabeth I and the Three Goddesses. A comprehensive survey of panel paintings in store was also completed. The upgrading and re-organisation of the Frame Conservation and Art Handling areas, undertaken in summer 2013, ensured that facilities were in place to support the continuing care of Collection works and portraits loaned for major exhibitions. Thanks to support from the Garfield Weston Foundation, the Special Collections Store and Archive Basement were refurbished to provide new plan chests, doubling the storage capacity and preparation space. A short-term partnership was formed with the Wallace Collection, providing temporary storage for part of its collection during its refurbishment.

Collection Curators Following many years of excellent service with the Gallery, Terence Pepper, Head of the Photographs Collection, and Tim Moreton, Collections Registrar, stepped down. They will continue for a period to work part-time in curatorial and research roles.

A strong exhibitions and displays programme contributed to the Gallery’s high visitor figures, and provided exhibitions of monographic, historical and contemporary figures in addition to thematic exhibitions.

The reach and extent of the Gallery’s profile online hit record levels, with engagement with the Collection at its most popular. Cataloguing continued, with significant projects being completed, and the development of the new Photographic Studio enabled us to maximise output.

Research activity grew in strength with the completion of the significant Making Art in Tudor Britain project, and the development of the Later Victorian Portraits Catalogue.

The publishing programme produced distinctively designed catalogues, books and products which added to the visitor offer, and, with new sales and distribution channels, the Gallery’s international reach was strengthened.

Exhibition HighlightsThe Lost Prince: The Life and Death of Henry Stuart and Elizabeth I & Her People introduced visitors to lesser-known but nevertheless important people in history. Both exhibitions involved research and technical analysis that developed the understanding of painting in those periods, as well as contributing to the established Making Art in Tudor Britain research project. Man Ray Portraits, George Catlin: American Indian Portraits and Laura Knight Portraits all toured, developing audiences nationally and internationally and extending the reach of the Gallery. The Queen: Art and Image was shown in Edinburgh, Belfast and Cardiff before coming to London. Bailey’s Stardust and The Great War in Portraits both opened in February 2014 and attracted large audiences from the outset, with the latter provoking strong emotional responses.

Gallery DisplaysAn extensive range of displays and interventions was staged. Highlights included a major feature on the life of Benjamin Britten and a celebration of Vivien Leigh on the anniversaries of their births. Contemporary displays included a focus on the work of the artists Humphrey Ocean (A handbook of modern life) in 2012 and Jonathan Yeo in 2013. British royal portraits by Mario Testino and the portraits of Marilyn Monroe attracted considerable publicity. Other highlights from the earlier parts of the Gallery’s Collection included a display on images revealed by X-ray, Hidden: Unseen Paintings Beneath Tudor Portraits, and a focus on The Art of Drawing, 1670–1780.

Digital ProgrammesCataloguing, digitisation and content enhancement ensured that ‘Search the Collection’ remained the most popular website feature, with 54% of all visits. 198,000 portraits were presented online, 114,000 of which were digitised. Visits to the website increased by 14% up to 4.1 million, and a range of microsites were created. ‘Timeline’ and ‘First World War’ features were developed for the Portrait Explorer; interactives were developed for the Diallo display and the Elizabeth I & Her People exhibition, and a record 36,000 visitors used the BP Portrait Award Visitors’ Choice interactive. The photographic studio continued to digitise material, and there were major upgrades to the Portrait Printer digital print service.

Research Programmes The Making Art in Tudor Britain research project was successfully completed with the creation of a public database and three separate displays. The Later Victorian Portraits Catalogue was launched in July 2012, and entries on travellers, social reformers and philanthropists were published. The project received funding from Alliance Boots from October 2013 for entries on medical pioneers. The first studentship under the AHRC’s (Arts & Humanities Research Council’s) Collaborative Doctoral Programme began in autumn 2013, with a second studentship beginning in 2014. For details of research carried out by individual members of staff, please visit the Gallery’s website: www.npg.org.uk/research/staffresearchprofiles.

Cataloguing the Collection820 portrait prints were catalogued and scanned, including political sketches by John Doyle; an album of prints after Thomas Charles Wageman and Michel Angelo Wageman, and Victorian and Edwardian illustrated sheet music covers. Over 6,100 portraits in other collections were recorded. Re-cataloguing the Library continued until funding ran out in November 2013. A grant of £23,582, awarded by the National Cataloguing Grants Programme for Archives, enabled the cataloguing of the papers of G.F. Watts.

19,000 photographs and negatives were catalogued, including the Terence Pepper gift, the Francis Goodman archive, the National Photographic Record prints and negatives, the Hay Wrightson prints, and negatives from the Lafayette Studio, the Baron Studio and the Bassano Studio. Albums catalogued included the Martin Plaut gift, the Barbara Strachey collection, the Camille Silvy daybooks, the Bassano sample books, the Henry Irving cuttings, the Royal Visit to Wolverhampton, the Myra Hess, Frederic G. Hodsoll and Eden Fisher albums.

Publishing Lucian Freud Portraits sold a record number of copies across four languages, followed by publications for The Queen: Art and Image and the National Portrait Gallery/BT Road to 2012 project. The Lost Prince provided a definitive work on the subject; Man Ray Portraits was published in five editions; George Catlin: American Indian Portraits was supported by The Terra Foundation, and the Guide to 20th Century Portraits was published in association with the National Trust. The Laura Knight Portraits catalogue achieved strong sales, and Elizabeth I & Her People, the Bailey’s Stardust publications and The Great War in Portraits were all successful. 21st Century Portraits, a global overview of portraiture today, and the Companions series on literary and artistic groups were published. UK and international sales and distribution were moved to new partners, which raised the Gallery’s profile in the book trade internationally and resulted in strong sales.

2012/13 and 2013/14 were both successful years for the Gallery in meeting internal financial targets and audience development objectives, as well as in achieving good results across the range of performance indicators agreed with DCMS (the Department for Culture, Media & Sport). 2012/13 saw record numbers of visits to the Gallery, helped by the highly successful Lucian Freud Portraits exhibition, which also enabled the Gallery to increase its free reserves by £329,000. Almost 2 million visits were made to the Gallery in 2013/14, and financial results were also strong, with a much smaller than budgeted operational deficit out-turn being achieved in the year.

During 2012, the Development Department underwent a review undertaken by Think Consulting, to assess the capacity within the team for the fundraising challenges ahead. As a result of the report, some restructuring took place within the team at the beginning of 2013.

Individual Support Following the Development Department restructure, there was a renewed focus on securing major gifts. Work was undertaken to refine the Portrait Circle, ensuring that this group continues to meet the needs of those wishing to make regular five-figure gifts. Patronage continued to grow, and programme highlights included a 2013 trip to Moscow to mark the opening of Man Ray Portraits at The State Pushkin Museum. Exhibition Supporter Groups helped the Gallery’s programme, and membership of the National Free Wills network resulted in financial bequests. A range of initiatives was implemented to enhance the Membership experience, with retention rates averaging 65% over the period. In March 2014, Members stood at 9,700, just below the 2015 Corporate Plan target of 10,000.

Development Council and Board of American FriendsThe Development Council, chaired by David Ross, continued to prove invaluable in helping to make new introductions. Members met individually with the Development Department four times a year to discuss priority projects, and twice a year as a group to enable opportunities for brainstorming ideas.

We are grateful for the ongoing work and engagement of the Board of American Friends. In 2012/13 and 2013/14 they granted much-needed support to projects including the Diallo display and Laura Knight Portraits.

The £1 Million Portrait Fund Challenge and the Save Van Dyck CampaignGifts to the Portrait Fund will continue to be matched £1-for-£1 until June 2016, thanks to the Gallery’s HLF/DCMS Catalyst: Endowments Award. The Gallery received £101,426 in 2012/13 and £309,217 in 2013/14, a total of £821,286 once doubled. A public appeal was launched to acquire Van Dyck’s Self-portrait in November 2013, and we were delighted by the response. The appeal raised more than £4 million in the form of donations from nearly 10,000 individuals. The Gallery secured notable pledges of support from The Monument Trust, the Garfield Weston Foundation, and several major individual supporters. In April 2014, following a successful application by the Gallery, the Heritage Lottery Fund granted substantial support, ensuring that the portrait could be saved for the nation.

Charitable Trusts and FoundationsA number of Trusts and Foundations supported the work of the Gallery, including the Terra Foundation for American Art for the George Catlin: American Indian Portraits exhibition. The 29th May 1961 Charitable Trust, PF Charitable Trust and CHK Charities Limited supported the Gallery’s Hospital Schools Learning programmes. The Paul Hamlyn Foundation funded National Memory – Local Stories, a national project for young people to mark the First World War centenary; the Finnis Scott Foundation supported Gallery research, and the Lord Leonard and Lady Estelle Wolfson Foundation assisted the Access programme.

Corporate SupportThe Corporate Partnership programme had a total of twelve Partners at the end of 2013/14 with three new companies joining over the period. We welcomed two first-time sponsors: KPMG for The Queen: Art and Image and Hugo Boss for Bailey’s Stardust. The Weiss Gallery supported The Lost Prince: The Life and Death of Henry Stuart in 2012 and returned as a sponsor for Elizabeth I & Her People in autumn 2013. Bank of America Merrill Lynch supported the conservation of Tudor portraits through their Art Conservation Project. In 2013, Alliance Boots agreed to support the Catalogue of Later Victorian Portraits Medical Pioneers research project. Multi-year partners included BP for the Portrait Award, the J.P. Morgan Signature Series, Taylor Wessing for the Photographic Portrait Prize and Herbert Smith Freehills as Spring Season sponsors. FTI Consulting supported Late Shift throughout 2012/13 and 2013/14.

The Portrait GalaOn 11 February 2014 the Gallery hosted its third Portrait Gala. We were delighted that our Patron, HRH The Duchess of Cambridge, joined us for the evening along with friends of the Gallery, individual and corporate supporters, artists and many special guests. The Gala was a great fundraising success, with a lead sponsor in Leon Max. Tickets sold out, and guests were very generous during the Live Auction, the raffle and portrait-related sales. Over £550,000 was raised through ticket sales, donations and on-the-night fundraising.

Trading CompanyThe Gallery’s subsidiary trading company, the National Portrait Gallery Company Ltd, earned profits of £686,191 in 2012/13 and £715,000 in 2013/14. Profit achieved in 2013/14 was the second highest the Company had earned since it began trading in 2007. Professor Sir David Cannadine resigned as a Company Director in June 2012, following his standing down as Chairman of the Board of Trustees. In his place, Dr Augustus Casely-Hayford was appointed to the Company’s Board of Directors in March 2013 as the Trustee representative. Alan Smith was appointed as the Company’s Non-Executive Director in April 2012, replacing Stephen Robertson.

Venue Hire2012/13 and 2013/14 were successful periods for venue hire with a year-on-year increase in income. Venue hire clients included Maples and Calder, Rothschild, BNP Paribas, Bell Pottinger, Goldman Sachs, Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer and Facebook. Corporate Partners and Sponsor venue hire activity fluctuated over this period owing to varying hospitality needs and the exhibition programme. However, over the two years the income totals for both corporate and private hires exceeded budget.

Retail and PublishingIn 2012/13, stimulated by the unprecedented success of Lucian Freud Portraits, Retail achieved its highest ever sales figure of £1.940 million. In 2013/14 this figure was surpassed, with Retail sales of £1.996 million, despite the Gallery receiving 66,000 fewer visits than in the previous year. These results indicate the success of the Retail restructure of 2012, which allowed the team to renew the merchandise offer and to develop additional retail space (the Print Sales Gallery and the new Exhibition Shop, both of which opened in 2013). The revision of core product ranges, a renewed concentration on exhibition buying and better merchandise presentation led to increased sales across key ranges, and Retail strives to continue to refine its offer.

Rights and ImagesThe restructure of the Rights and Images Department in 2012 enabled it to develop and expand its merchandise licensing programme, as well as to streamline processes to increase revenue generation, increasing sales from £348,000 in 2012/13 to £406,000 in 2013/14. The team took on new international agents and worked more pro-actively with existing agents. A new licensing interface was launched on the Gallery website in summer 2012, delivering free academic and non-commercial licensing for qualifying clients, which was well received. Rights and Images staff continued to monitor changes to UK copyright law through involvement in industry-wide forums and debates.

Catering FranchiseOverall the Portrait Café and Portrait Restaurant performed well over the two years, meeting the income targets in each year: £449,000 in 2012/13 and £437,000 in 2013/14, the results for 2012/13 in particular being helped by the record number of visits to the Gallery made in that year. The catering franchise was renewed in September 2013, with Company of Cooks taking over the franchise from Searcys, who had provided excellent catering for many years.

Investment and Other IncomeThe Gallery receives a small amount of investment income from bank interest and dividend payments. This amounted to £33,000 in 2012/13 and £18,000 in 2013/14. The majority of the Gallery’s reserves are invested in portfolios under management with the Gallery’s investment managers, Partners Capital LLP. These investment portfolios depreciated in value in 2013/14 by £63,000, mainly as a result of investment management fees, following an appreciation in value of £794,000 in 2012/13. Other income decreased from £239,000 in 2012/13 to £212,000 in 2013/14.

Effectiveness and EfficiencyThe Gallery maximised effectiveness and efficiency through rigorous contract management and partnership working on contractual arrangements, developing long-term best practice. The Gallery successfully collaborated with the National Gallery for Art Transportation services, the first collaboration of this kind between the two organisations, with joint reviews of contracts continuing over the next three years. Improvements to plant equipment and technological innovations decreased energy consumption (despite longer public opening hours and greater visitor numbers). The conversion to energy-efficient LED lighting in all Rooms on Level 2 was completed, with works ongoing. All card, paper, plastic, metal and food waste was recycled, and the majority of general Gallery waste was incinerated, generating electricity for the National Grid (with waste to landfill figures the lowest ever). The Gallery’s beehives continued to produce honey that retailed in the Gallery Shop in autumn 2012 and 2013.

Recruitment and TrainingRecruitment activity continued briskly, with over one hundred campaigns during 2012/13 and 2013/14. Some recruitment arose following department reviews undertaken to ensure that the Gallery has the best structures, skills and resources in place for the future. Employee turnover also increased to 16%, compared to around 10% in 2010/11 and 2011/2012, due to a more confident labour market. To underline its commitment to being a fair employer, the Gallery became accredited with the Living Wage Foundation, guaranteeing that all employees receive the London Living Wage.

In 2013/14 Gallery staff participated in an innovative collaboration between business, education and the creative industries: the BNP Paribas RiseUp programme coached managers to work with difficult young people, to develop directly transferable skills.

As part of our ongoing drive to improve the wellbeing of our workforce, the Gallery joined the Public Health Responsibility Deal, a national campaign that encourages organisations to make public the specific actions they will take on a range of health matters. Following revisions to the Gallery’s Alcohol and Drugs Policy, all managers were trained in alcohol and drug awareness (including the support mechanisms available). Additionally, managers were provided with guidance notes and training to improve absence and attendance management.

DiversitySupported by Arts Council England, the Gallery continued to participate in the Creative Employment Programme to provide paid internships for unemployed sixteen- to twenty-four-year-olds, designed to address skills gaps and encourage a new generation to enter the sector. At the close of 2013/14 trainees were working in the Library, Visitor Services and Retail.

The composition of the Gallery’s workforce at the close of 2013/14 was 87% white, 13% black and minority ethnic, 35% male, 65% female, 3% disabled and 40% part-time employees.

Improvements were made to the Gallery buildings, including the refurbishment of Rooms 3, 4 and 11, which was made possible by a grant from the DCMS/Wolfson fund. Wi-Fi was installed across the Gallery’s ground floor as part of an ongoing project. A major project to reconfigure the Frame Conservation and Art Handling areas was completed, and the Orange Street offices Reception area was redesigned.

Visitor Services and SecurityThe Visitor Services team improved their engagement with our diverse audiences through various training schemes and initiatives. The number of Portrait of the Day talks increased, and staff began giving Members’ Welcome Tours. Security was improved with a new Access Control system and picture alarms in all exhibitions. The Emergency and Business Continuity Plans were revised, and ‘desk-top’ exercises were completed with the Senior Management team.

Services to Research and Readers In addition to student groups, 2,348 researchers visited the Archive & Library, and the Public Study Room hosted Creative Connections project sessions. In total, 4,246 portrait enquiries, forty-three Freedom of Information (FOI) requests and twelve Parliamentary Questions were answered. Five FOI requests required internal review and one was referred to the Information Commissioner’s Office, which found in favour of the Gallery. The review of departmental records management and compilation of retention schedules continued.

GovernanceUpholding the highest standards of governance through the accountability and transparency of management processes, decision-making and communications continued to be a key aim. Professor Sir David Cannadine stood down as Chairman of the Board of Trustees in June 2012 and was succeeded by Sir William Proby. The Marchioness of Douro’s and Zeinab Badawi’s terms ended in 2012/13, and Sir Nicholas Blake’s term ended in 2013/14. Three new Trustees, Dr Brian Allen, Stephan Shakespeare and Dr Andrew Roberts, were appointed in 2012/13. A number of key policies were revised, including Child Protection, Collections Management and Communications.

46 Financial Review

Total incoming resources increased by 8% over the two years, from £17.4 million in 2012/13 to £18.7 million in 2013/14. This was driven by a series of successful fundraising appeals, as well as a very strong performance from the Bailey’s Stardust exhibition in the spring of 2014. Self-generated income increased as a percentage of income over the period from 58% in 2012/13 to 62% in 2013/14.

Income sources associated with the exhibition programme performed well over the two years, including ticketing, sponsorship, retail, publications and Gallery Membership. Voluntary income was particularly strong in 2013/14 as a result of the Portrait Gala, the Catalyst scheme and the Save Van Dyck campaign. The Gallery attracted record numbers of visitors in 2012/13, which underpinned the improvement in self-generated income despite the difficult economic climate.

Over the two years, the Gallery’s grant-in-aid funding from DCMS fell by 3.3% from £7,277,000 in 2012/13 to £7,040,000 in 2013/14. Grant-in-aid per visitor to St Martin’s Place remained constant over the period at £3.54, lower than in any of the previous three years, maintaining the Gallery as very effective within the museums and galleries sector based on this performance indicator.

Overall, comparing the two years, resources expended rose by 4%. The rise was as a result of increased costs associated with charitable and non-charitable trading, following the restructure of the Trading Department and a revision of the Retail merchandising strategy, as well as costs associated with the Portrait Gala and a general increase in trading activity. Exhibitions and display costs also rose, as a result of holding two large exhibitions in 2013/14. Support costs, excluding depreciation, increased by 12%, compared to 2012/13, mainly as a result of an increase in facilities management costs. For a full understanding of the Gallery’s financial position, the Annual Report and Accounts for the year ending 31 March 2014 can be viewed on the Gallery’s website: www.npg.org.uk.
