In your dreams

by Dr Sarah Engledow, 19 December 2016

The National Portrait Gallery’s 2016-17 summer exhibition, The Popular Pet Show, celebrates our animal companions and the unconditional love they afford us. This article by Dr. Sarah Engledow is an excerpt from The Popular Pet Book, which features works by fifteen contemporary artists; each of them is revealed by an Engledow essay informative and enchanting in equal measure.

Read the article on The Popular Pet Show website.
