Tate

The exhibition is a selection of works given by the Contemporary Art Society to public galleries.

By way of celebrating the first half-century of the Society’s activity a number of its principal benefactions have been assembled for exhibition at the Tate Gallery and other centres. In addition to the works included in the exhibition, galleries throughout the country that have been the recipients of the Society’s gifts have placed the majority of them on view locally.

It is to the Society that the Tate Gallery owes its first examples of many artists, of the work of Rouault, for instance, of Sickert, Maillol, Stanley Spencer, Epstein, Augustus John and Paul Nash.
