Eva Rothschild sculpture at Tate Britain

Mass mind (steel version) by Eva Rothschild

The Tate Britain has announced that artist Eva Rothschild will create a sculpture for the 2009 Duveens Commission. The 200 foot long sculpture will play on the idea of space and the architecture of the Duveens Galleries. The piece will no doubt play on the perception of visitors due to the fact that Duveens Galleries focus on neo-classical works of art. Thus, it will be an experience that blends old and new. The work will be on display at the Tate Britain on June 29th and will come to a close on November 29th, 2009. For more information visit, www.tate.org.uk

Mark Rothko and J.M.W. Turner exhibit at Tate Britain

The Tate Britain is currently exhibiting works by Mark Rothko and J.M.W. Turner. The exhibit, which is part of the BP British Art Displays, marks the first time that works by the two influential painters have been exhibited side-by-side. The exhibit reveals their similarities as well as their differences. It is always interesting to see the work of two artists from two very different generations exhibited at the same time. Needless to say, the exhibit is a unique experience. The exhibit will come to a close on July 26th, 2009. For more information visit, www.tate.org.uk.
