Just watched the Sky Arts programme on Bailey's exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery. A disappointing programme with the presenter feeling the need to explain everything away even to the extent of interpreting some of the images to Bailey himself. In fact the programme was largely 'talking heads' rather than allowing Bailey's work to speak for itself. I finally decided that the best way to proceed was to mute the sound and use the fast forward controls to concentrate on the images.
I will plan an actual visit at some time in the near future so that I can see things for myself.
