« Duran Duran’s song to Michael released in Oct 1997 | U2 live tributes to Michael Hutchence »

The National Portrait Gallery aims to increase the understanding of the Australian people – their identity, history, creativity and culture through portraiture.

The National Portrait Gallery building, situated on King Edward Terrace, Parkes, Canberra, bounded by the High Court of Australia and the National Gallery of Australia, displays some 400 portraits of people who have shaped Australia and who continue to shape our nation.

Included is a portrait of Michael Hutchence taken by photographer Harry Borden in Paris during 1997.  This photo and others by Harry were also used for Michael's solo album release in 1999.

Listen to the video interview with Harry Bordan below as he discusses his photo shoot with Michael.
