The Utah Museum of Fine Arts dedicated a new gallery this spring to the art of portraiture, or the representation of a specific person or group of people. The new Portrait Hall is a special space in that it is focused on a major theme in art history, rather than the geographical and cultural designations used to organize most of the Museum’s galleries. The new Portrait Hall is the second-floor hallway overlooking the Great Hall, a central throughway of the Marcia and John Price Museum Building.
