Granville-Grossman Members Room

We are delighted that the Members Room at Tate Modern has been named after Renee Granville-Grossman in recognition of one of the most significant bequests to Tate in recent times. Renee, who died in 2012, lived between New York and London and was a devoted supporter of Tate who loved Tate Modern. Her generous bequest will allow future generations to enjoy Tate Modern as much as she did. The Members Room is on the 8th Floor of the Blavatnik Building:

Soul of a Nation: Art in the Age of Black Power at Tate Modern

Well-deserved congratulations to Tate curators Mark Godfrey and Zoe Whitley for the five star reviews of Soul of a Nation that is on display at Tate Modern until October 22. This landmark exhibition is a rare opportunity to see era-defining artworks that changed the face of art in America. The show opens in 1963 at the height of the Civil Rights movement and its dreams of integration. In its wake emerged more militant calls for Black Power: a rallying cry for African American pride, autonomy and solidarity, drawing inspiration from newly independent African nations. The exhibition is supported by the Tate Americas Foundation thanks to generous grants from the Ford Foundation, the Terra Foundation for American Art and the Henry Luce Foundation.
