Sorry for the delay but the Chief curator was out as I mentioned, and then In a meeting all day Tuesday. So, the bottom line is this - we have been bombarded with requests from the new administration for portraits and after discussing with the curators have decided to limit the 17cv1906 Sierra Club v. EPA ED_001523_00002627-00001 number of objects on loan to any "high-ranking government official" to two. We also need to make sure that we have objects available for our own exhibition needs and a long-term loan of four years can be a constraint. I hope the Administrator enjoys the portraits he has and I am sorry for the bad news.

The chief curator is out until the first week in June so this will have to wait until she returns.

That being said, we do not have a selection of portraits in a "lending program" -you would either have to give me names or look up on our website http://npg.si.edu/portraits to search for portraits. We do not lend photographs, prints or drawings (actually any work on paper) and we do not lend objects on view here at the gallery. Let me know what you want to do, 17cv1906 Sierra Club v.
