The British Museum/CourtesyAn exhibition highlighting the career of sculptor Mary Gillick will take place at the British Museum from June 2. Gillick was best known for modeling Queen Elizabeth’s head for the new coin, released after her accession in 1952. A highlight of the display will be medals created by Gillick from the 1910s to the 1950s, a set of large-scale plaster models of her portrait of the queen, and insightful documents relating to the coins.
To commemorate the queen’s Platinum Jubilee, London’s National Portrait Gallery, which has more than 1,000 portraits of Queen Elizabeth II in its possession, has curated an online display featuring works from artists such as Dorothy Wilding, Chris Levine, Pietro Annigoni, Michael Leonard and William Horton. The digital exhibition features an animated timeline of her reign, showing both her role as head of state, as well as a more intimate aspect of her life.
