Every year, Tate Members contribute a remarkable £5 million to Tate through subscription income. This means that Tate can purchase more artworks and fund special exhibitions for everyone to enjoy.
This past year Tate Members helped acquire 15 works of art with a total value of £1.5 million. Watch Tate Members’ Council member Simon Wilson speak about four of these artworks, which represent a missing link in the Tate collection.
In 2007 Members helped Tate acquire J.M.W. Turner’s exquisite The Blue Rigi, Sunrise 1842. Watch a special message from Jon Snow, Chair of the Tate Members charity, about this special purchase.
