Audrey Green at the National Portrait Gallery
PROJECT SHOWCASE
The National Portrait Gallery has reopened after three years and a £35 million refurbishment, which includes Daisy Green Collection’s Audrey Green cafe and Larry’s bar. East London Superlab was part of the reopening by remastering over 90 photographs from the NPG archive, which now permanently adorn two gallery floors as fine art prints.
Our role was to realise museum-grade archival prints for the interior so that visitors experience a seamless transition of photographic presentation from the gallery into the cafe and bar. The interior design of the establishment is inspired by the lives of Audrey Hepburn and Laurence Olivier. It combines lofty high ceilings and intimate lower-ground vaults, which the National Portrait Gallery Curators, Artist Justin Hibbs, and Daisy Green's creative ideas transformed to bring to life the people and places associated with the area of soho and its stages.
