4th Plinth inside National Portrait Gallery
On a Thursday night I went to the late night opening of the National Portrait Gallery. Having seen a recent collection and been amazed at some incredible pictures in the BP competition I walked out towards the longest indoor escalator in any gallery in the country. Beside it was a flat screen showing a guy drawing page one of an animation. I watched with interest thinking that he was in some studio where he had been filmed.
Just as I was getting into this animation development a gallery usher yelled out that the gallery was closing.
I walked out onto the Charing Cross Road and down towards the stop for the 29 Free Bus. (I saw ‘free’ because I seem to be the only one paying whenever I get onto the vehicle – whereas others drift on and search for a seat without making that telltale ‘BEEP’ that is so much a part of us ‘payers’ daily routine.)
As I walked down to the Trafalgar Square 29 Free Bus stop I glanced over at the 4th Plinth. There to my amazement was the guy that I had seen drawing INSIDE the NPG.
My goodness – a direct line.
Obviously I had to reassure myself that this was the actual person I had seen from inside and took a quick vid.
I must say that I have yet to see ANYONE who fills this plinth in TS half as well as King George IV fills his plinth.

Tommy Lasorda Portrait Dedication Ceremony, National Portrait Gallery
The Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery installed a portrait of Tommy Lasorda, Hall of Fame manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers Tuesday, Sept. 22.
Painted by artist Everett Raymond Kinstler, the life-sized portrait measures 60 by 50 inches and was commissioned to commemorate Lasordas legacy as part of the Dodgers organization. Sept. 22 was Lasordas 82nd birthday and the first night of a three-game series between the Dodgers and the Washington Nationals in Washington, D.C.
The portrait is on view in the museums exhibition New Arrivals on the first floor through Nov. 15, 2009.
After a brief Major League career as a left-handed pitcher for the Brooklyn Dodgers, Lasorda became one of the most enthusiastic and successful managers in baseball history. In his 20-year career as the Dodgers manager, Lasorda led the team to eight division titles and two World Championships. After his retirement, he became a Dodgers executive, and this year marks his 60th season with the Dodger organization and his fifth year as special advisor to the chairman. Lasorda was elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1997, and he managed the U.S. team to its first-ever baseball gold medal at the 2000 Sydney Olympics.
Kinstler has painted more than 1,200 portraits of well-known personalities and public figures. The Portrait Gallerys collection includes paintings and sketches of Katharine Hepburn, Tony Bennett, Richard Nixon, Norman Rockwell and Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Lasorda sat for the portrait at Kinstlers National Arts Club studio in New York City in June 2009. The portrait is a gift from friends of Lasorda.
