Tuck into the top 5 pancake related artworks in Tate's collection
Louisa Matthiasdottir
Still Life with Frying Pan and Red Cabbage (1979)
Tate
To make the perfect pancake you need to start with good equipment. Grab your frying pan and let’s get cracking!
This painting looks a bit fragile with everything supporting each other, as if they might fall at any moment! Watch out! How would you place objects around you to make them look as if they are falling over?
Nigel Henderson
Photograph of a photogram of a milk bottle (1949–51)
Tate Archive
Milk makes your pancakes nice and fluffy! This photograph was made by Nigel Henderson. Could you take a picture of all your ingredients in an interesting or weird way?
Cornelia Parker CBE RA
Thirty Pieces of Silver (1988–9)
Tate
Have you ever heard of the phrase ‘as flat as pancake’?
The artist Cornelia Parker took this quite literally with her artwork and ran over lots of silver objects with a bulldozer! What would happen if you squashed everything in your room?
Julian Trevelyan
Hungry People (1936–72)
Tate
Yes! We are starving! This abstract painting by Julian Trevelyan shows some very hungry people. Can you make them out? Maybe try to draw your family looking really hungry on one of the Tate Kids games?
Jack Bush
White Flip (1974)
Tate
Just before you put all your lovely extra ingredients on the pancake make sure you flip it for luck! 1, 2, 3…!
