See What a Difference Your Support Makes!
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!
