William Eggleston: Portraits included 100 works from the 1960s to the present. The exhibition was the most comprehensive display of Eggleston's portrait photography ever. Following its debut at the National Portrait Gallery in London, the show traveled to the National Gallery of Victoria, Australia in March 2017.

The London exhibition received 5-star reviews in The Guardian, The Evening Standard, and Time Out London.
