From June 13, the Tate Modern in London is embarking on an exciting journey: photography is said to have changed painting in a fundamental way, and so it is taking the greatest contemporary artists by the hand to support this thesis. Capturing The Moment juxtaposes the brush and the lens - and presents moments in time.
On June 13, London's Tate Modern will launch a journey through painting and photography. It posits that the invention of photography changed painting forever. The exhibition Capturing The Moment literally captures the relationship between the two media. It features contemporary art - including some of the most iconic works of recent times. Among them are luminaries such as Picasso, Francis Bacon, David Hockney, Alice Neel, Paula Rego, Gerhard Richter, and Andy Warhol, as well as younger artists such as Salman Toor and Jana Euler.
Visitors to the media-centric exhibition will also explore the technical side: Tate Modern uses the exhibits to discuss how the greatest of their time used brushes or lenses to capture the moment. The exhibition is produced in collaboration with the YAGEO Foundation, Taiwan, founded in 1999 by the Taiwanese collector, entrepreneur and philanthropist Pierre Chen. The exhibition will close on January 28, 2024.
