Clare Freestone has worked in the Photographs curatorial team at London's National Portrait Gallery for two decades. During that time, she has produced many NPG displays and has acquired images for the Gallery's collection, which spans the 1840s to the present day. Clare has a particular research interest in the careers of pioneering women throughout the history of photography. She curated 'Ida Kar: Bohemian Photographer' (2011) and wrote the accompanying publication. Her most recent exhibition, 'Yevonde: Life and Colour', shines a light on an extraordinary and influential woman who gained freedom through photography and blazed a trail for subsequent artists.
