Even though
Terence Pepper (OBE) is in the middle of curating
his 2015
Audrey Hepburn exhibition at the
National Portrait Gallery, he used his precious coffee break by escorting me
round the
David Bailey show at the museum.
As Bailey’s show takes up the entire ground floor, Terence
ideally needed to have taken a break during lunch and dinner besides his coffee
slot.
David Bailey used to be my illustrious boss alongside David Litchfield when I slaved for
Ritz Newspaper in the late twentieth century.
Bailey had hung his own show, so I found it poignant he had included ancient copies of Ritz in glass cabinets.
Incidentally, I have a library of Terence Pepper’s signed books of all his exhibitions he has curated at the National Portrait Gallery. I look forward to adding his Audrey Hepburn one to my
vast collection).
