You probably haven’t heard of Hannah Woolley, but if Flavia Frigeri has her way, that will soon change. Frigeri, the new Chanel Curator of the Collection at the National Portrait Gallery, confesses to be obsessed: “She was the first woman in England to make a living writing books on household management,” says Frigeri. “Elizabeth David meets Marie Kondo - the 17th-century version.”
And yes, you did read Frigeri’s job title correctly. Her role is sponsored by Chanel, which has agreed to fund this new position at the Gallery for the next three years. Her project is called Reframing Narratives: Women in Portraiture, and aims to adjust the balance of female artists and sitters in the Gallery’s collection.
