The National Portrait Gallery has turned down a £1 million grant from the Sackler Trust amid their link to the US opioid crisis.
Last week the National Portrait Gallery and the Sackler Trust said they had “jointly agreed not to proceed” with the donation. This followed a threat from photographer Nan Goldin to pull a planned retrospective of her work at the NPG if it accepted the gift.
The Tate Group has now also announced that it will also not be taking any more donations from the Sackler family.
