American Patrons of Tate Sponsor Colour Chart: Reinventing Colour, 1950 to Today at Tate Liverpool
We are delighted to be sponsoring this exhibition thanks to an extremely generous gift from the Horace W Goldsmith Foundation. This rich and vibrant exhibition - which opened at Tate Liverpool on 29 May and runs until 13 September - is the first major exhibition devoted to the significance of color in contemporary art and will include works by more than forty artists, including Ellsworth Kelly, Andy Warhol, Gerhard Richter, Frank Stella, Yves Klein, Richard Serra, John Baldessari, Dan Flavin, Damien Hirst, David Batchelor, Jim Lambie, Angela Bulloch and Cory Archangel. The exhibition has been created by the Museum of Modern Art, New York, in collaboration with Tate Liverpool.

The recent collection rehang at Tate Modern highlights just how many important works are part of the Tate's collection thanks to supporters in North and South America. These include works by Robert Morris and Lygia Clark's bought with income from our endowment; works by David Hammons and Carolee Schneeman bought using funds raised by our American Acquisitions Committee; works by Ana Mendieta, Luis Camnitzer and Santiago Sierra bought using funds raised by our Latin American Acquisitions Committee; and finally works by Richard Tuttle, Terence Koh and John Coplans gifted to us by private collectors. Thank you to all of you who made this possible!
