Lecturer: Ian Swankie
Booking Months: September, October 2023
Cost: £35
Location: Letcombe Regis Village Hall, OX12 9LJ
This Study Day will be an armchair tour of the wonderful art collection at Tate.
It starts outside Tate Britain with an introduction to the founding of the collection and the architecture of the building, then we explore the works. Tate Britain houses art by British artists, and artists who have worked in Britain.
lt covers the period from the 1500’s to the present day.
Next we move along the river to Tate Modern, the cathedral of international modern art.
We look at the sleek new architecture and its engagement with the local environment, then we have a tour of the highlights of the collection.
From the twentieth and twenty first centuries the collection comes from all over the world. Some are easy to explain and some are quite challenging, but they all have a place.
Tate Modern is the most visited art museum in the world.
