Case Studies – supporting exhibitions at Tate
Cy Twombly: Cycles and Seasons, Supported by Exhibition Supporters Group and Horace W. Goldsmith
Cy Twombly is one of the most highly regarded painters working today and a key figure among the generation of American artists that includes Jasper Johns, Robert Rauschenberg and Andy Warhol.
Tate Modern's Summer 2008 exhibition, curated by Sir Nicholas Serota, is his first solo retrospective in fifteen years, giving visitors an unprecedented overview of Twombly's work from the 1950s to the present day.
The collective support of a consortium of individuals, (The Cy Twombly Exhibition Supporters Group), Tate International Council, the American Patrons of Tate and the Horace W. Goldsmith Foundation, has made this show possible. Their generosity and commitment enabled us to bring together a spectacular range of Twombly's work, hold a valuable academic symposium exploring new research on the artist, and give new audiences the chance to enjoy Twombly through our imaginative learning programme. Tate is very grateful to all our benefactors for their support.
Duchamp, Man Ray, Picabia, Supported by the Terra Foundation
Marcel Duchamp, Man Ray, and Francis Picabia were central figures in the history of modernism and their pioneering ideas about art continue to reverberate to this day. The three artists remained friends throughout their lives and spent time together in both American and Europe.
This transatlantic dialogue was one the key themes explored in Tate Modern's hugely popular exhibition and we were delighted to have the support of the Terra Foundation for American Art which has a remit to foster the understanding and enjoyment of American art internationally.
With the support of the Terra Foundation, Tate was able to bring together an unprecedented collection of work by the three artists providing a unique focus on the connections and parallels between their works. Tate is very grateful to the Terra Foundation for their support.
