Police officers stand guard next to a poster as campaigners, unseen, dressed as a mock clean-up crew called the ‘Greenwash Guerrillas’ protest outside the National Portrait Gallery in London, Tuesday, where the BP Portrait Award ceremony is held. Campaigners claim that the National Portrait Gallery’s sponsorship deal with BP helps the oil giant to “greenwash” its tattered public image, and want the gallery to terminate BP’s contract.
