Bank of America supported exhibitions
Since 2008, Bank of America has supported exhibitions of work by both national and international artists including:
- Francis Bacon
- Paul Gauguin
- Roy Lichtenstein
- Henri Matisse
- Robert Rauschenberg
- Amedeo Modigliani
- Andy Warhol
- Yayoi Kusama
Henri Matisse: The Cut-Outs remains one of Tate’s most visited exhibitions in the gallery’s history, welcoming over 500,000 visitors. Modigliani saw the ground-breaking integration of virtual reality into an exhibition, with a VR experience reimagining Modigliani’s final studio in Paris. Yayoi Kusama: Infinity Mirror Rooms opened with Tate’s galleries when we reopened following the third UK lockdown in spring 2021, and throughout the course of Bank of America’s support it remained one of the most sought-after exhibitions, consistently selling out during repeated ticket sale opportunities. Collectively, exhibitions supported by Bank of America have welcomed an audience of over three million.
Community engagement
Bank of America’s partnership with Tate goes beyond exhibition support. Over the years, alongside their support of exhibitions, Bank of America has supported Tate’s learning and participation teams to engage young audiences, through supporting outreach, educational workshops and community programmes. Working with Tate, Bank of America has been able to engage young audiences who may typically not have seen Tate exhibitions, supporting educational workshops within Bank of America’s schools and young people networks. Bank of America also supported Tate to provide private views for local community groups to visit exhibitions, for instance Yayoi Kusama: Infinity Mirror Rooms, in collaboration with Tate Collective Producers.
Supporting conservation
Bank of America also provides conservation grants, through their Art Conservation Project. Their support has enabled international cross-institution research into the work of Amedeo Modigliani and the cleaning and conservation of Andy Warhol's Marilyn Diptych 1962, included in the Andy Warhol exhibition.
