“This year’s Portrait of a Nation Gala strengthens our commitment to contemporary portraiture,” the Gallery’s director, Kim Sajet, said in a statement. “We collaborate with contemporary artists to illuminate the history unfolding around us while also looking back at the changemakers who came before. Portraiture is both the past and present, contemplative and motivating, traditional and avant-garde, and we encourage everyone looking at the portraits of this year’s honorees to reflect on how they might see history and want themselves to be seen.”

During the red-carpeted event, made possible by Rhea L. Combs, director of curatorial affairs; Taína Caragol, curator of painting, sculpture and Latinx art and history; and Leslie Ureña, curator of photographs, 750 celebrities across the globe walked the gallery, viewing portraits of the honorees.

There were six painted portraits and one photograph created by artists Kadir Nelson (Andrés’ portrait), Toyin Ojih Odutola (Serena’s portrait), Hugo Crosthwaite (Fauci’s portrait), Robert Pruitt (Venus’ portrait), Kenturah Davis (DuVernay’s portrait), Ruven Afanador (Edelman’s picture) and David Hockney (Clive’s portrait).
