Chef's Legacy

This March, Fortnum & Mason unveils Chef’s Legacy, a work by renowned photographer Alistair Morrison, which was created for The Felix Project Charity Auction in 2019. From 4 March – 3 May 2020, Chef’s Legacy and The Actors’ Last Supper will be displayed at the 3’6 Bar, in Fortnum’s flagship Piccadilly store. Chef’s Legacy brings together 18 of Britain’s best-known chefs, each sitting for their own individual portrait, in an effort to raise money for The Felix Project – a London-based food waste charity that delivers surplus food to over 350 front-line charities to provide healthy meals to those in need. Also on view is The Actors’ Last Supper, a monumental tour de force that casts 13 renowned British actors in a contemporary recreation of Leonardo da Vinci’s iconic painting. Photographing the actors in groups of three or four, Morrison asked them to react to Jesus’ proclamation that one of the disciples would betray him, capturing this moment of shock and disbelief. The work was acquired by the National Portrait Gallery and was exhibited at the Gallery in 2012.
