If you could commission your own portrait from any artist living or dead

[zippitippitoes]

who would you choose and why..any media you like sculpture, conceptual, photographic, video, painting

I like Gwen John's portraits' too.
And Augustus John.

A Rachel Whitread sculpture.

I thought about fragonard very good if you like puffball skirts and flowers eg that woman on who married les on coronation street

We had one done, drawing of me & dh sitting soberly in empty space as inspired by ancient Egyptian married-couple statues (eg ) as we thought those rather unexpectedly affectionate & nice. Also because those statues are often just of Officials (not pharoahs), & at the time dh was in the Treasury.

Binkie, that "An Arundel Tomb" type simplicity is what appeals to me about the Henry Moore statue "King and Queen". What a lovely commission...

Holbein

Marina, love it! Yes, that is me exactly

Well I'd have to vote for a photographic portrait from Paolo Roversi.

Painting would be a toss up between Magritte (a very surreal one) or Klimpt in the style of his sea serpent paintings.

She's gonna do it at mates rates geekgrrl!

But I can find out what she charges.

She has her own website, but I can't find the address at the moment.

I can't wait. She does amazing work.

Sargeant or Vermeer. Glam or not glam, that is the question.

Or a Rodin sculpture (except the old goat always wanted to shag his models...yikes!)

Titian, if i could go to the tropical island for the sitting!

I would keep any portrait of me in the attic, anyway!

I thought Rodin didn't do the tricky bits of his sculptures, it was the female artist he worked with (forgotten her name); so maybe it would be a 3-some!!!!!!!

Louise bourgeois installation i would really like
