Tate Modern in galleries from the artzine on artrepublic.comThis is the description for the gallery Current ExhibitionsDuchamp, Man Ray, Picabia at Tate ModernThis exhibition aims to chart the artistic and personal relationships of three of the great figures in early twentieth-century art, Marcel Duchamp, Man Ray and Francis Picabia. Together they created the Dada movement in New York during the First World War, and, unusually within the history of modern art, they remained friends, with periods of varying intensity, throughout their lives. Collection Galleries at Tate ModernBritain’s biggest and newest gallery, which opened in 2000, has quickly been recognized as one of the finest and most important collections of art in the world. Housed in a vast ex power station, the building itself is enough to inspire awe, but the collection and exhibition schedule require a breathtaking setting. There are many internationally important artists on display as well as representation for lesser known and new artists.
