Tate Modern Visit

Tate Britain, first opened its doors in 1897, to a small collection of British artworks. Founded as the National Gallery of British Art, its role was changed to include more modern art. Later changed its name to the Tate Gallery after sugar magnate Henry Tate, who laid the foundations for the collection. By 2000 the Tate Gallery modernized to Tate or the Tate Modern, a combination of four museums: Tate Britain, Tate Modern, Tate Liverpool and Tate St Ives, a total close to 70,000 artworks. Also introducing their website which displays all the collections across the galleries as-well as exhibitions.

During my visit to the Tate Modern I gathered photographs and sketches as primary research for my  project. Expanding from this primary research I found artists that relate to my theme of work.
