On the centenary of John Singer Sargent’s death, we are gathering together, for the first time, 18 of his magnificent portraits at Kenwood. All depict women who were part of the transatlantic marriage phenomenon of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when American heiresses married into the British aristocracy. Heiress: Sargent’s American Portraits features some of Sargent’s finest works and reveals the important contributions these women made to politics, the arts and society. With loans coming from institutions in Washington, Boston and Houston as well as private collections on both sides of the Atlantic, the exhibition will offer visitors the rare opportunity to enjoy Sargent’s brilliant works in the splendour of Kenwood.
