WALK THROUGH BRITISH ART, TATE BRITAIN, LONDON, ENGLAND, 2015 - 2017
2016 - 2017
Tate Britain unveils a refresh of the BP WALK THROUGH BRITISH ART, a chronological display of the national collection of British Art from the 1500s to the present day. Featuring Antony Gormley, David Hockney, Anish Kapoor, and Jane and Louise Wilson, the new displays include recent acquisitions on show for the first time as part of the collection alongside some of Tate's most loved works. Among the highlights from the exhibition is Antony Gormley's celebrated early work BED (1980-81) in which a double mattress made from slices of bread features two eaten away impressions of the artist's body.
