International Modern Art was arranged chronologically starting at 1900 and divided into five sections, each of which focuses on a specific theme or art movement. Painting, sculpture, photography, video and installation were featured by a wide range of artists from Edgar Degas to Grayson Perry. Many works have not been shown in Liverpool until now, and have been selected to reflect the richness and variety of the Tate Collection as well as to allow visitors a revolving and general overview of modern and contemporary art. The Focus Room, at the start of the display, offers a more intimate look at the work of a particular artist, and has been devoted to displays of Julio Gonzalez, Brancusi/Modigliani and Robert Rauschenberg.
This display celebrated Kenneth E Tyler’s gift of 450 prints to the Tate Collection and focused on figures such as Frank Stella, Helen Frankenthaler and James Rosenquist.
The display was curated by Sean Rainbird.
